THE WINDSTAR IS VERY UNSAFE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED THREE TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN TRAFFIC, SOMETIMES AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE CAUSES SERIOUS OTHER ENGINE COMPNONETS TO FAIL, EVENTUALLY CAUSING COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WHICH CAN ALSO OCCUR SUDDENLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PARKING BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COME ON AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE. I'VE FOUND THIS TO BE HIGHLY FREQUENT PROBLEM ON 2001-2003 FORD WINDSTARS. ALSO READ THAT THIS COULD CAUSE FIRES AND EVEN DEATH. WE ALSO HAVE INTERNAL LIGHTS THAT FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AS IT COULD STARTLE THE DRIVER. I'VE READ THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE! GET THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
