| 2003 | TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS FAILS. AFTER SET, LIGHTS UP ALTHOUGH THE TIRE PRESSURE IS PROPERLY SET. ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM - AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES IN CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE IT (E.G. DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE). THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWS WITH A GRIDING NOISE. BOTH INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER WHO HAS SAID THAT THESE ARE SPORADIC PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURED AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE, THEREFORE, THEY CAN DO NOTHING. HOWEVER, AFTER REVIEWING YOUR SITE, I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.*AK |
| 2001 | POWER TRAIN | ON SUNDAY JULY 8TH, 2012 I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND AS THE LIGHT CHANGED I BEGAN DRIVING AND THEN HEARD A LOUD NOISE, MY WHEELS BEGAN TO SQUEEL AND PULL ALL OVER AND MY VAN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE.. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WAS TURNED OUTWARD BUT MY WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON AN EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY WITH ALL MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK THE DRIVER INSPECTED IT AND SAID SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE FRONT FRAME HAD SNAPPED OFF.. SO TODAY I HAD IT TOWED INTO A FORD DEALER TO FIND OUT IT IS A NEW RECALL HOW CAN THESE WINDSTAR VANS HAVE SO MANY FRAME AND AXLE ISSUES AND BE SAFE TO DRIVE EXSPECIALLY WITH ALL THESE BRACKETS THEY ARE HAVING TO PUT ON THEM FOR THE RECALLS.. IF I WAS ON AN EXPRESSWAY ME AND MY SON WOULD OF BEEN HURT BADLY IF NOT KILLED.. NOT TO MENTION IF I WOULD OF HIT SOMEONE ELSE I COULD OF INJURED OTHERS TOO..I WILL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER WINDSTAR WITH MY FAMILY THIS IS CRAZY.. IT IS THE SUBFRAME FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM REAR ATTACHING FLAGES COMPLETELY BROKE/SNAPPED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BASIC 40 MPH ROAD..WHEN IT BROKE IT MESSED UP THE UNDERNEATH OF MY VEHICLE IT RIPPED THE DRIVE SHAFT RIGHT OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION.. AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS DAMAGED NOW.. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS NOW BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.. *TR |
