FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2001.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . TO SUMMARIZE, WE BOUGHT A 2001 NEW FORD WINDSTAR VAN ON OCT. 6 FROM COURTESY FORD. THE BRAKES FAILED ON OCT. 8, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH SLIGHT DAMAGE. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN WRAY, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. FORD, THROUGH THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE, OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 5 YEARS. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD SENT AN ENGINEER FROM DENVER TO WRAY WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I HAVE A SIGNED DOCUMENT FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER IN WRAY STATING THAT NO ONE HAS COME TO LOOK AT THE VAN. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE FORD HAS LIED TO US REGARDING THEIR DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. WE DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PUTTING OURSELVES AND/OR OUR GRANDCHILDREN AT RISK WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE BRAKES FAILED INITIALLY. I HAVE MUCH DOCUMENTATION AND A CHRONOLOGY OF THE EVENTS THAT BROUGHT US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART OF THIS WHOLE DEAL IS FORD'S RELUCTANCE TO EVEN RESPOND TO OUR CALLS AND LETTERS. WE SIMPLY WANT A VEHICLE THAT IS FREE FROM DEFECTS. THIS IS THE FIRST NEW VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE EVER OWNED. YOUR SERVICE COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO US AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER. I CAN BE CONTACTED ANYTIME AT THE ABOVE NUMBER OR ON MY CELL PHONE (970) 630-3328.*AK.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA52401B.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 Safety Review #754997

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on .FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION . I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, BECAUSE OF AN UNDIAGNOSED HUMMING NOISE IN MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR. THE NOISE IS A HIGH PITCHED, HUMMING SOUND THAT OCCURS SPORADICALLY, AND INTERMITENTLY, EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE CAN OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, BUT THE NOISE NEVER FAILS TO OCCUR, INTERMITENTLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON. THE NOISE IS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD ABOVE THE RADIO AT NORMAL VOLUME. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY, USUALLY IN 30 SECOND SPURTS, AND 3 TO 5 MINUTE INTERVALS. WE JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A MONTH AGO. I HAVE NOTICED THE SOUND EVER SINCE. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SOUND OF THE WIND HOWLING. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE (ED SCHMID FORD). THE DEALERSHIP ALSO DETECTED THE NOISE, BUT FAILED TO DIAGNOSE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY MECHANICAL/OPERATIONAL NOISE, RATHER THAN A SQUEAK AND RATTLE NOISE.*AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA52471B.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 27, 2002.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS . FLUID FROM POWER STEERING SYSTEM LEAKED ONTO SOME HOT ENGINE COMPONENT, PROBABLY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND PRODUCED A ROLLING FIRE AT THE REAR OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BELOW THE FIREWALL. VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A SERVICE STATION WHEN FIRE ERUPTED. MY SON WHO WAS INSIDE THE STATION, SAW THE FIRE AND RUSHED OUT TO WARN US OUT OF THE VEHICLE. STATION PERSONNEL BROUGHT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND MY SONS (THE OTHER WAS DRIVING) RAISED THE HOOD AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE FIRE WAS BURNING FIERCELY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO REACH, BUT WAS EXTINGUISHED BEFORE ANY FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS BECAME INVOLVED. SMOKE HAD COME FROM UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TWICE PREVIOUSLY DURING THE DAY, BUT WE ASSUMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN OVERFILLED AND THE EXCESS WAS BEING VENTED AND BOILING OFF ON THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED FORD WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT EXCESS TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD PROBABLY BE ALRIGHT. SINCE THIS WAS MY MOTHER'S FUNERAL, WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE IN THE VEHICLE TO THE CEMETERY. SMOKE AGAIN CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN WE PARKED AT THE CEMETERY, BUT CLEARED QUICKLY.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2004.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR . I OWN A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR SEL WITH POWER SLIDING DOORS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING BECAUSE ONE OF THE MECHANISMS USED TO OPERATE THE DOOR IS INOPERABLE AND THE DOOR NO LONGER WORKS ELECTRICALLY. THE STANDARD COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $1800.00, ALOT OF MONEY FOR A DOOR REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE POWER MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING THESE DOORS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE SAFETLY MANUALLY. THAT IS NOT THE CASE THE DOOR IS EXCESSIVELY HEAVY (HEAVIER THAN A MANUAL DOOR) AND WHEN THE VECHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY OPEN. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN (AGES 3 AND 1) AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY WITH THIS DOOR. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME SAFETY PRECAUTION TO HOLD THE DOOR OPEN WHEN THE POWER FAILS. THE DOOR SHOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF SLIGHT TUG OR PULL TO CLOSE NOT JUST GRAVITY. I THINK IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED ON THESE POWER DOORS SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE A FINGER, HAND OR MUCH WORSE. OTHERWISE I THINK THAT MANUFACTURERS SHOULD MAKE THESE REPAIRS MORE AFFORDABLE, MOST FAMILIES (WHICH IS THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF MINI-VANS) ARE ON TIGHT BUDGETS AND $2000.00, IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS FOR A DOOR REPAIR! *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMDA56441B.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2001.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . (1) I HAD VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING ON THE VAN STARTING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT WITH. NOTHING REALLY LEAD UP TO THE FAILURES. (2) BRAKES WOULD FAIL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT WAS USUALLY AFTER I WOULD HIT A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WOULD FEEL AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKES WOULD KICK ON FOR NO REASON. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RECOVER UNTIL THEY WERE RELEASED AND PRESSED AGAIN. SEVERAL TIMES I WOULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF ME. (3) I SENT MANY COMPLAINTS TO FORD, THE DEALERSHIPS, ETC. THERE POLICY WAS IF THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM THEN THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM EITHER. THIS WOULD JUST HAPPEN OUT OF THE BLUE. I HAVE HAD WITNESS IN THE VAN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. FORD DENIED TWO DEALERS FROM WORKING ON THE VAN (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY) BECAUSE THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I REPLACED THE SHOCKS AND TIRES ON THE VAN. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE THEN. I DID EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF TO HAVE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. TALKED TO FORD, DEALERS, FILLED OUT SIMILAR FORMS ON AUTO SAFETY WEBSITES, ETC. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED THAT NO ONE EVER LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON OTHER FORD WINDSTAR'S THEN THERE ARE SOME VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.FORD WINDSTAR 2001 problem was reported in ALLEN PARK, MI.

THERE HAD BEEN SOME WOOD PALLET DEBRIS APPROXIMATELY SCATTERED ON THE ROAD 100 HUNDRED YARDS BEHIND THE POINT OF THE AIR BAG ACTIVATION. ANALYSIS FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP SHOWS THAT SOME SMALL OBJECT IMPACTED ONTO THE FRAME UNDERNEATH THE CENTER POST ABOUT 6 INCHES UP ON THE FRAME POST. I THINK THAT THIS AREA IS OF IMPACT IS UNPROTECTED FROM SMALL OBJECTS DETONATING THE AIR BAG IN A NON EMERGENCY CONDITION. (EXAMPLE) GRAVEL ROADS ANY SMALL ROCK COULD TRIGGER THE AIR BAG. THIS CONDITION MAY HAPPEN ON ANY ROAD FROM OBJECTS TOO SMALL TO BE OBSERVED. THE ONLY DAMAGE NOTED IS SOME PAINT SCRAPED FROM FRAME. DEALER PUT THE CAR ON HOIST AND THAT WAS THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THE IMPACT AREA. IT IS ACTUALLY ABOUT 6 INCHES ABOVE THE BOTTOM OF CAR FRAME. MECHANIC SAID THE AREA WAS 6 INCHES FROM THE SENSOR.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2004.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH . SINCE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR HAS REPEATEDLY MALFUNCTIONED. THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE PROBLEMS. THE FIRST AND MOST COMMON IS THAT THE DOOR WILL CLOSE, ONLY TO INSTANTLY OPEN AGAIN. ANY OF THE THREE BUTTONS USED TO CLOSE THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM. ON THESE OCCASIONS, IF WE ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY, IT WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. USUALLY AFTER 20+ ATTEMPTS THE DOOR WILL LATCH PROPERLY. SLIGHTLY LESS COMMON IS THE SECOND PROBLEM, WHEN THE DOOR WILL REFUSE TO UNLOCK. THE LOCK BUTTON CAN'T BE PULLED UP, AND THE BUTTONS ON THE KEY FOB OR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. AGAIN, THIS PROBLEM ONLY PERTAINS TO THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. THE THIRD AND MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS THAT, ON HALF A DOZEN OR SO OCCASIONS, THE DOOR HAS SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE MOST RECENT OCCASION WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, IN APPROXIMATELY 25 DEGREE WEATHER, WITH AN INFANT IN THE SEAT BY THE DOOR. ON THESE OCCASIONS THE DOOR WILL ALSO EXHIBIT THE FIRST NOTED PROBLEM, REFUSAL TO REMAIN CLOSED. TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS HAVE MADE THE REPAIRS AUTHORIZED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT BEYOND THAT HAVE STONEWALLED. ONE DEALERSHIP REFERRED THE PROBLEM TO THE "REGIONAL REP", BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMDA53411B.

I PURCHASED THIS 2001 FORD WINDSTAR SEL 11/18/04 FROM POHANKA CHEVROLET. ON MY WAY TO KANSAS ON 11/20/04 THE CD/CASSETTE PLAYER WENT OUT. THAN I STARTED HEARING A NOISE IN THE STEERING. WHEN I RETURNED THEY EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE STEREO AND AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES IN, THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AFTER THAT I STARTED HEARING A GRATING SOUND WHEN COMING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. PULLING OUT IN REVERSE, OR GOING FORWARD, AFTER TURNING THE WHEEL TO GO STRAIGHT IT WOULD MAKE THIS SOUND. THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT SO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO SAID THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A WINDSTAR. IT DOESN'T FEEL NORMAL AND I HOPE THEY WILL REPLACE ANYTHING IT MAY BE DAMAGING. ALSO, AFTER THE POWER STEERING WAS "FIXED" I STARTED FEELING AND HEARING THIS WHIRLING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. A FEW TIMES THE CAR ALMOST CUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT, BUT I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT CONTINUED RUNNING. AGAIN, THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL FOR A WINDSTAR. I NOW SEE WHY THERE ARE NO NEW WINDSTARS. I JUST WANTED IT NOTED THAT THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH POHANKA AND TED BRITT FORD, TO NOT AVAIL.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2005.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . WHILE ON VACATION THIS PAST WEEK,MY WIFE, KIDS (5), AND MYSELF, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH WARNING NOR WERE THERE ANY SYMPTOMS TO INDICATE THAT OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WOULD LEAVE US STRANDED ON OUR FIRST FAMILY VACATION. WE PURCHASED A 2001 WINDSTAR SEL FROM UNIVERSITY FORD IN DURHAM, NC. WE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $1500, AND JUST WHEN THE VEHICLE BARELY SURPASSED THE 'EXPIRATION DATE', THE TRANSMISSION, JUST SUDDENLY QUIT. MY WIFE AND SON WERE EXCHANGING SANDALS AT THE LOCAL BEACH SHOP, AND WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE VAN, AND TRIED TO MOVE IT, THERE WAS NO GEAR AT ALL.......JUST PARK AND NEUTRAL, (THE TWO 'NO' GEARS). THEY WALKED 3 MILES IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER BACK TO OUR 'PLACE'. I HAVE CALLED THE UNIVERSITY FORD, AND SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT BY LESS THAN 2500 MILES, I AM STUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 78,000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS BEEN SERVICED FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY WE HAVE OWNED IT. IT WAS BOUGHT 'SLIGHTLY USED', ONLY TO BE DRIVEN BEFORE BY A TOP SALESMAN/MANAGER, BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. I HAVE A FAIRLY DECENT SIZED FAMILY AND AM MIDDLE CLASS, NOT RICH!! THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO BE $1500-$3000 TO REPLACE, AND I CANT AFFORD TO REPLACE AND REALLY DONT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD HAVE LASTED, WITH NORMAL DRIVING, WELL INTO 100,000-150,000 MILES. I HAVE A PONTIAC BONNEVILLE THAT HAS ALMOST 215,000 MILES THAT HAS NEVER GIVEN ONE SECONDS TROUBLE OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE AS MYSELF, THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE FROM YOUR DEPT. TO PLEASE CHECK INTO THE DURABILITY OF THE WINDSTARS TRANSMISSIONS, AS FORD, HAVE TOLD US (MYSELF AND OTHER DISGUSTED WINDSTAR OWNERS) THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FORD MAKING A DESIGN FLAW IN A TRANSMISSION.

WE HAVE A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR MINI-VAN. WE TOOK VAN IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. WIFE ALSO NOTICED THUMPING IN TIRE WELL. EGR REGULATOR WAS CHANGED FOR "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT, BUT THE THUMPING TURNED OUT TO BE TWO (2) BROKEN FRONT COIL SPRINGS!! HOW DOES A HIGHWAY DRIVEN MINI-VAN GET TWO (2) BROKEN SPRINGS? THAT WAS THREE (3) WEEKS AGO AND THE VAN IS STILL IN THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR THE REPLACMENT SPRINGS WHICH WE ARE TOLD ARE ON BACK ORDER. APPEARS TO ME THAT IF THESE SPRINGS ARE ON BACK ORDER, THERE MUST BE A PRETTY GOOD DEMAND FOR THEM. THE FACT THAT BOTH ARE SPRINGS BROKE WITH HIGHWAY USAGE INDICATES A POSSIBLE DESIGN PROBLEM.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2005.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH . THE PSD ON OUR 2001 FORD WINDSTAR OPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH OUR TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WITH THE CAR OFF, PARKED AND CHILDREN IN THEIR SEATS, MY WIFE CLOSED THE PSD WITH DOOR BUTTON IN POST. DOOR WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. AFTER SEVERAL PUSHES ON THE OUTSIDE HANDLE, THE DOOR CLOSED WITH POWER AND ENGAGED. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MINUTES THE DRIVER SIDE PSD TRIED TO OPEN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR OPENED HALF WAY. MY WIFE PUSH THE DOOR BUTTON ON THE CEILING AND IT BEGAN TO CLOSE AGAIN. THEN IT CLOSED AND REVERSED 3 TO 4 INCHES AND CLOSED AGAIN. THEN IT REPEATED THE 3 TO 4 INCHES CLOSED AND COULD NOT BE OPERATED. IT STAYED CLOSED UNTIL SHE REACHED HER DESTINATION (10 MINS). WHEN SHE STOPPED THE PASSENGER PSD OPENED ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVERS PSD WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL POWER OR MANUAL. THE CHILDREN LEFT THE VAN THROUGH THE PASSENGER PSD. WE TOOK THE CAR TO FORD THE NEXT DAY. THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SWITCHES AND CONTACT PADS AND THE POWER DOOR LOCK MOTOR ON THE STUCK DRIVER SIDE SLIDER DOOR. THE CAR WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY (57,000) AND WE PAID $556.44 FOR THE REPAIRS. BY SEPT 12, THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WAS OPENING AGAIN BY ITSELF, THIS TIME WHILE IT WAS IN A PARK MODE. WE RETURNED THE CAR TO FORD, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED REPLACING THE SLIDING DOOR HINGE, THEY THOUGHT THEY SAW WEAR. BUT THEY COULD NOT SAY IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE DID NOT COMPLETE THE SECOND REPAIR ($250) SINCE IT WAS A GUESS. WE HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED FOR THE RECENT REPAIR. THE DOORS WORKED POORLY SINCE WE FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. THESE INCLUDED TWO WARRANTY SERVICES FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF PSD OPENING ON THEIR OWN OR NOT CLOSING ON 6/20/2003 AND 9/12/2003. WITH THE FIRST FORD REPLACED THE B-PILLAR SWITCHES AND THE SECOND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Jan 06, 2006.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL . AT ABOUT 8:30 AT NIGHT, I WAS AT HOME ALONE AND HEARD STRANGE THUMPING AND HISSING NOISES OUTSIDE MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW. I WENT OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE AND DISCOVERED FLAMES BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR VAN, WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY FOUR FEET FROM OUR WOOD FRAME HOUSE. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE 4:00 PM. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911, AND NEIGHBORS HELPED CONTAIN THE FIRE WITH A GARDEN HOSE WHILE WE WAITED FOR EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO ARRIVE. IT TOOK FIREMEN A GOOD 20-30 MINUTES TO FULLY EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES, WHICH DISINTEGRATED THE ENGINE, WINDSHIELD AND DASHBOARD AREA. THANKFULLY THE FIRE DID NOT SPREAD TO OUR HOUSE. ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS WHO HELPED THAT NIGHT IS A FORD SERVICE TECHNICIAN. HE SAID THAT IN HIS OPINION THE FIRE WAS UNDOUBTEDLY CAUSED BY A SHORT IN THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM. SINCE OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE RECALLED FOR THAT PROBLEM, WE HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT OUR CAR MIGHT SPONTANEOUSLY BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY ON A COOL JANUARY NIGHT. NOW THAT'S IT'S TOO LATE, AND AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, I RECOGNIZE SOME SYMPTOMS THAT LINE UP WITH SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE: 1) A FEW WEEKS AGO MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WE ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. 2) FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE, I TRIED TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL IN A 30 MPH ZONE AND IT WOULDN'T WORK. THAT SPEED MAY HAVE BEEN TOO SLOW TO ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT IT HAD WORKED BEFORE. 3) TWO DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. AT FIRST I WAS CONCERNED, BUT IT CLEARED UP AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THAT IT RAN AS USUAL. I'M GRATEFUL THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED BY THIS MASSIVE SYSTEM FAILURE. *JB.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 20, 2005.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . ONSET OF DULL "KNOCKING" NOISE IN RUNNING ENGINE AT IDLE; SOUND SIMILAR TO CONNECTING-ROD OR PISTON WRIST-PIN BEARING KNOCK, BUT DOES NOT INCREASE IN SEVERITY OR FREQUENCY AS ENGINE SPEED CHANGES. SIMULTANEOUS SIGNIFICANT VARIATION IN ENGINE IDLE SPEED (+/- 200 RPM @ 1,000 RPM IDLE), AND ROUGH TRANSITION TO CRUISING SPEED. DEALERSHIP "FOUND" THAT THE INTERNAL PLATE OF THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS SHIFTING TO PRODUCE SOUND. DEALERSHIP SPECULATES THAT THE ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD DEVELOPED AIR / VACUUM LEAKS, COMPROMISING ENGINE IDLE. OWNER DEDUCES THAT DEALER WAS FAMILIAR WITH SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEMS EFFECTING OTHER WINDSTARS. AT MINIMUM, THE "KNOCK" COULD TRIGGER EXPENSIVE- AND UNNECESSARY ENGINE REPAIRS. AT WORST, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE LOSS-OF-POWER OR ENGINE INABILITY TO OPERATE, TRIGGERING ACCIDENT. A LIKELY SIDE-EFFECT WILL BE THE REDUCTION IN ENGINE OPERATING EFFICIENCY / INCREASE IN FUEL CONSUMPTION, AND COMPROMISES IN ENGINE EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE.

IN THE FALL OF 2006 I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISOLATED INSTANCES WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD BY THE END OF THE WORK DAY. FREQUENCY INCREASED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. I FOUND I COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BY LIFTING THE PEDAL SLIGHTLY FROM BEHIND. ON MARCH 12, 2007 THE PROBLEM BEGAN HAPPENING WITH EACH STOP, SO I REMOVED AND EXAMINED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. IT APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. I EXAMINED ITS PLACEMENT ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER ROD. THE WEAR PATTERN APPEARED TO BE VERY SLIGHTLY OFF-CENTER. I REINSTALLED THE SWITCH, BUT INSERTED THE SPACER INSERT FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE. WHEN DISSASSEMBLING, THE SPACER WAS INSERTED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN I REASSEMBLED IT, I INSERTED IT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on May 02, 2007.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD . ON MAY 2, 2007 WE DETECTED AN ODOR OF BURNING PLASTIC IN THE HOUSE. AFTER SEARCHING THE HOUSE I OPENED THE GARAGE AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF SMOKE FILLED THE HOUSE. THE OCCUPANTS LEFT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, AND I PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR AND WENT OUT WITH PHONE IN HAND. WHILE I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE A FRIEND'S SON INDICATED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES UNDER THE VAN. I WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE, GOT THE KEYS AND MADE AN ATTEMPT OF PUSHING THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE. AS I TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OR PARK I NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THE WINDSHIELD. I DECIDED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE A HERO, AND I GOT OUT OF THE VAN AND GARAGE. WE WERE AFRAID OF AN EXPLOSION SINCE THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED THAT DAY. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHICH EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BEFORE IT SPREAD TO THE HOUSE. I ATTEMPTED TO GET A WATER HOSE TO TRY TO CONTAIN THE FIRE, BUT AFTER FOUR STEPS, MY RIGHT KNEE ON WHICH I HAD SURGERY THREE WEEKS BEFORE IT GAVE OUT ON ME AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. THE VAN WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. MY DAUGHTER AND I DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH OF THE FORD WEB SITE , AND IN ALL CASES INVOLVING FIRES FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT EVEN BLINKED AN EYE TO PAY ONE CENT. WHY CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT GO AFTER THIS COMPANY THAT KNOWINGLY PRODUCED A PRODUCT THAT WAS DEFECTIVE AND CONTINUED TO PRODUCE OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITHOUT TAKING SAFETY INTO CONSIDERATION. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO DEATHS INVOLVED. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE? *AK.Vehicle was on fire. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 68000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 07, 2007.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . MID-SUMMER VACATION TRIP FROM WEST VIRGINIA TO NORTH CAROLINA. WITHIN A FEW MILES OF RETURN TO WEST VIRGINIA THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO LEAK AND EVENTUALLY LOST APPROXIMATELY 8 QUARTS OF FLUID. MAJOR SLIPPAGE STARTED WITHIN 6 MILES OF HOME. WE MANAGED TO LIMP TO OUR DRIVEWAY BEFORE THE SLIPPAGE WAS SO BAD WE COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD. I INSTALLED 8 QUARTS OF FLUID AND DROVE IT TO REPAIR SHOP -- NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE ON THAT 15 MILE TRIP. I SUBSEQUENTLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP, ANOTHER 15 MILES WITH NO LEAKAGE. THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP PULLED THE TRANSMISSION, REPLACED THE FRONT SEAL AND REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER (SLIGHT GROOVE ON SHAFT THAT REPAIRMAN SAID WOULD CAUSE THE NEW SEAL TO FAIL IF THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS NOT REPLACED). VEHICLE HAD JUST UNDER 65,000 MILES ON IT WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. NOTE: THE SEAL FAILURE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO AN OVERHEATING CONDITION. THIS IS MADE OBVIOUS BY THE FACT THAT NO LEAKS OCCURRED DURING TWO 15-MILE TRIPS SUBSEQUENT TO FAILURE AND BEFORE REPAIR WAS CONDUCTED. ANOTHE DOWNSIDE TO THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT AFTER SPENDING $1100.00 FOR THE REPAIR THERE IS NO WARRANTY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP DID NOT DISASSEMBLE AND INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER MAJOR EXPENSE. THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTION APPEARS TO BE OK BUT I WON'T BE TRUSTING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN FOR LONG TRIPS OUT OF TOWN. GIVEN THE 65,000 MILE FAILURE AND INTERNET HISTORY OF LOW-MILEAGE TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITHOUT RESOLUTIONS FROM FORD, THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD I WILL OWN. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 08, 2007.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING . MY FAMILY AND I WERE EXITING THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY AT EXIT 25A ON WED 8/8 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30PM. SPARKS WERE NOTICEABLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF OUR 2001 FORD WINDSTAR. THE SPARKS WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOOD. AS WE WENT THROUGH THE TOLL BOOTH AND ONTO THE EXIT RAMP TO ROUTE 7, SMOKE BEGAN COMING IN THE AIR VENTS. AT THAT TIME I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE RAMP AND LOOKED IN THE REAR OF THE CAR FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT HAVE ONE IN THE CAR. I THEN WENT TO ASSIST MY WIFE WITH GETTING OUR 5 YEAR OLD SON OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE LEFT SIDE. WE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND ANOTHER PERSON ASSISTED ME WITH GETTING VARIOUS BELONGINGS OUT. WE THEN WAITED FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED BY THE FIRE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOOK CARE OF WHAT THEY CONSIDERED THE VALUE (THIS VALUE WAS LOWER THAN THE NADA VALUE). I PROTESTED THIS BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT CONSIDER NADA DUE TO ITS ACCESSIBILITY ONLINE. THEIR VALUE RESULTED IN MY HAVING TO PAY $1000 TO FULFILL MY LOAN OBLIGATION AND RELEASE THE LIEN TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I THEN CONTACTED FORD AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO WHICH THEIR REPLY WAS THE INSURANCE COMPANY COULD PURSUE RESTITUTION BUT NOT MYSELF. WHY IS IT THAT I AM THE ONE THAT SUFFERS THIS GREAT LOSS? WE HAVE SPENT $2000 TO SATISFY THIS LOAN AND PUT A DOWN PAYMENT ON A NEW CAR. THIS CLEARLY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FORD. CARS DO NOT JUST CATCH ON FIRE FOR NO REASON. THERE ARE MANY RECALLS ON FORD PRODUCTS. LAWYERS HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY MESSAGES REGARDING THIS MATTER BECAUSE NO ONE WAS INJURED. I AM ONLY SEEKING FOR FORD TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY THE PROPER VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. *TR.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 92000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 19, 2007.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . ON OCTOBER 19, 2007 I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND BEGAN TO GO FORWARD WHEN I FELT AN ALARMING SENSATION IN MY CAR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT MY TIRES. ALL LOOKED FINE SO I RETURNED TO MY CAR, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AGAIN AND BEGAN TO GO FORWARD WHEN I FELT THE REAR OF THE CAR SWAY. I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND LOOKED UNDER THE BACK OF THE CAR WHEN I SAW THAT MY REAR AXEL HAS SNAPPED IN TWO. ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT MY CAR HAD 65,700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC IN WAKEFIELD, MASS. BOTH THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND THE MECHANIC SEPERATELY TOLD ME THIS WAS SHOCKING AND NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO A CAR. AFTER ANALYZING MY CAR THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BROKEN AXEL WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE IS A CLEAN BREAK IN THE AXEL WHERE THE TWO BROKEN PARTS FIT TOGETHER SNUG LIKE A PUZZLE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF AN ACCIDENT OR TAMPERING TO THE AXEL. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THERE IS A PART OF THE AXEL WHERE WATER CAN GET IN, BUT THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE WATER TO ESCAPE. AS A RESULT THE AXEL RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE UNTIL IT WEAKENED AND BROKE. MY MECHANIC HAS PHOTOGRAPHED THIS PART AND IS HOLDING IT AT HIS GARAGE FOR INSPECTION. AS AN ASIDE, I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE OWNER OF STONEHAM FORD, MARK MELKONIAN, TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED UP MY SERVICE ACCOUNT AND VERIFIED I HAVE "BEEN FAITHFUL IN THE MAINTANENCE SCHEDULE." I, LIKE MY MECHANIC, BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN WHICH OTHER CONSUMERS WILL SOON, IF NOT ALREADY, EXPERIENCE AN AXEL BREAK. HAD THE AXEL GIVEN WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, THE OUTCOME MIGHT HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SEVERE. I AM AFRAID IF THIS IS NOT REVIEWED ANOTHER FAMILY MAY HAVE A CRITICAL OUTCOME IN THE COURSE OF THE AXEL GIVING WAY. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT THIS PART OF THE CAR AND HOW IT SIMPLY CRACKED IN TWO. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65700 miles.

VEHICLE HAS 76,000 MILES. POWER STEERING FLUID WAS BEING GRADUALLY LOST AND STEERING NOISE OCCURRED AS THE FLUID LEVEL WENT DOWN. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY EXPLAINED POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING. REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE AT ANOTHER SHOP AND TODAY ALL FLUID WAS LOST IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, LEAVING ME WITH UNASSISTED STEERING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP (WITH DIFFICULTY) AND THEY SAID THE NEW PUMP WAS FAULTY AND IS LEAKING AT THE SAME PLACE, HOWEVER, STAINS ARE NOW ON THE LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE WHEN THE PUMP IS ACTUALLY ON THE RIGHT. PREVIOUSLY, STAINS WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, NOW THEY ARE ON THE LEFT SO IT CAN'T BE THE PUMP AGAIN. SHOP WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON PARTS/LABOR.

STOP AT A STORE AND THEN RETURN TO VEHICLE AFTER A FEW MINUTES OR WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY ON HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY NORMAL SPEEDS. STOPPING SEEMS TO ALLOW MORE HEAT TO COLLECT TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM AS AIR DOES NOT COOL THE PARTS WHICH MAY BE THE CAUSE.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Aug 09, 2008.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . ON 08/09/2008, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE THEN HAD TO BE JUMP-STARTED, AND I NOTICED A FAINT BURNING SMELL WHILE DRIVING. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE BURNING SCENT WAS EXTREMELY STRONG. THE VEHICLE IS NOW INOPERATIVE. THE BATTERY, PURCHASED AT SEARS ON 06/04/2005, CAN NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HEADLIGHTS NOW COME ON, DIMLY, WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT WAS 119,200. I HAD ONE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. IN JUNE 2007, BOTH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE AND WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND IN THE BRAKES. TWICE, ON WET PAVEMENT, MY BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY. ALTHOUGH I AVOIDED ANY COLLISION, ON ONE OCCASION I WAS FORCED TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED RED. AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC WAS CODE C1185. AS A PRECAUTION, THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEREAFTER, THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN IN MAY 2008. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SQUEALING BRAKES. I HAD A FORD DEALERSHIP GO OVER THE VEHICLE AND RECEIVED A WRITTEN REPORT IN MAY 2008 THAT SHOWED THE BRAKES TO BE IN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. THERE WERE NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL AUGUST 2008. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I WILL MENTION THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT WORKED IN QUITE SOME TIME. I MUST USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I URGE YOU TO CONTINUE YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 119200 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA51441B.

THE BATTERY, PURCHASED AT SEARS ON 06/04/2005, CAN NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS GONE HAYWIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HEADLIGHTS NOW COME ON, DIMLY, WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT WAS 119,200. I HAD ONE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. IN JUNE 2007, BOTH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE AND WERE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND IN THE BRAKES. TWICE, ON WET PAVEMENT, MY BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY. ALTHOUGH I AVOIDED ANY COLLISION, ON ONE OCCASION I WAS FORCED TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED RED. AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC WAS CODE C1185. AS A PRECAUTION, THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEREAFTER, THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN IN MAY 2008. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SQUEALING BRAKES. I HAD A FORD DEALERSHIP GO OVER THE VEHICLE AND RECEIVED A WRITTEN REPORT IN MAY 2008 THAT SHOWED THE BRAKES TO BE IN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION. THERE WERE NO FURTHER INCIDENTS UNTIL AUGUST 2008. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I WILL MENTION THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT WORKED IN QUITE SOME TIME. I MUST USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I URGE YOU TO CONTINUE YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 119200 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA51441B.

THE DEALERSHIP WHICH REPAIRED THE CAR STILL HAS THE OLD PART, BUT WANTS TO CHARGE ME A $100 "CORE CHARGE" TO RETURN IT TO ME. I THINK THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DISCOURAGE ME FROM RECOVERING THE PART.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 13, 2008.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 13, 2008, WE BEGAN HEARING AN INTERMITTENT CREAKING NOISE AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS OUR 2001 FORD WINDSTAR WOULD GO OVER BUMPS AT A SLOW SPEED (BEST EXAMPLE IS DRIVING OVER THE CURB LEADING UP OUR DRIVEWAY). ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH, WHILE HEADING ON A 45 MINUTE TRIP TO OUR WEEKEND HOME WITH MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG SONS, I COMMENTED TO MY WIFE THAT I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN THE FOLLOWING MONDAY FOR AN INSPECTION. ON SATURDAY THE 13TH, WHILE ENROUTE TO A RESTAURANT, WE HEARD A "WHISTLING NOISE." WE GOT OUT AND DISCOVERED BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE LEANING IN AT THE TOP. WE HOBBLED THE CAR BACK AND UPON INSPECTION THE FOLLOWING DAY DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS NEARLY SEVERED IN TWO. IT APPEARED THAT IT HAD RUSTED OUT FROM THE INSIDE. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A 2001 AND IS NEARLY RUST FREE EVERYWHERE ELSE SAVE FOR A FEW TELLTALE SIGNS OS BEGINNING RUST IN THE USUALLY SPOTS (WHEEL WELLS). GIVEN THAT THE OUTSIDE OF THE AXLE IS RUST FREE, I'M NOT SURE HOW I WOULD HAVE DETECTED IT (OR EVEN EXPECTED IT TO HAPPEN IN 7-YEAR OLD VEHICLE) EXCEPT FOR THE CREAKING NOISE. I'M THANKFUL THAT THE AXLE DID NOT FAIL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE MY WIFE WAS USING THE VEHICLE (SHE USES IT DAILY TO GO TO WORK AND TRANSPORT OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL). I DID NOTE THAT THERE WERE 6 OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON "CARCOMPLAINTS.COM." I DO NOT HAVE THE CAR IN THE SHOP YET - ARRANGING FOR REPAIRS IS TODAY'S' TASK. GIVEN THE COMMENTS I'VE SEEN ONLINE IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COMPLAINTS IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT 1.) FORD HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE INCIDENTS AND 2.) MECHANICS CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A NON-SERVICEABLE PART LIKE THIS WOULD FAIL ON A 2001 VEHICLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 90000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 20, 2008.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . FAILURE OF THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNTS AT THE SUBFRAME OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING OR PRIOR SYMPTOMS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 71K MILES. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP APPROACHING HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO SWING OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE AXLE SHAFT TO PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE. THE VAN SWAYED AND BUCKED WITH THE REAR END BOUNCING UP AND DOWN OFF THE GROUND NEARLY FLIPPING THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED FOUR OR FIVE SECONDS LATER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE IT REMAINS ABOUT 100 MILES FROM MY HOME. MY LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE SERVICE WRITER SAID I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER WHO IN TURN INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT WITHIN FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S GUIDELINES TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. LINDA, THE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR, SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING SHE CAN DO, UNLESS THE NHTSA ISSUES A RECALL, BECAUSE THE VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THE 5 YEAR RANGE THEY USE FOR MAKING "GOOD RELATIONS ALLOWANCES". I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 12 OR 13 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB SIGHT AND OTHERS ON BLOGS (IE ALLWORLDAUTO.COM ) SO I AGREE WITH ONE OF YOUR COMPLAINANTS THAT "THIS IS A SEVERE FAILURE THAT IS PREMATURE, NOT EASILY DETECTABLE, POTENTIALLY FATAL, AND WILL LIKELY OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY AS THESE VEHICLES AGE".

FAILURE OF THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM MOUNTS AT THE SUBFRAME OCCURRED WITH NO WARNING OR PRIOR SYMPTOMS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 71K MILES. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP APPROACHING HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO SWING OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE AXLE SHAFT TO PULL OUT OF THE TRANSAXLE. THE VAN SWAYED AND BUCKED WITH THE REAR END BOUNCING UP AND DOWN OFF THE GROUND NEARLY FLIPPING THE VEHICLE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED FOUR OR FIVE SECONDS LATER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE IT REMAINS ABOUT 100 MILES FROM MY HOME. MY LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE SERVICE WRITER SAID I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER WHO IN TURN INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT WITHIN FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S GUIDELINES TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. LINDA, THE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR, SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING SHE CAN DO, UNLESS THE NHTSA ISSUES A RECALL, BECAUSE THE VAN IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND OUT OF THE 5 YEAR RANGE THEY USE FOR MAKING "GOOD RELATIONS ALLOWANCES". I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 12 OR 13 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEB SIGHT AND OTHERS ON BLOGS (IE ALLWORLDAUTO.COM ) SO I AGREE WITH ONE OF YOUR COMPLAINANTS THAT "THIS IS A SEVERE FAILURE THAT IS PREMATURE, NOT EASILY DETECTABLE, POTENTIALLY FATAL, AND WILL LIKELY OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY AS THESE VEHICLES AGE". I TOO, STRONGLY URGE THE NHTSA TO CONDUCT AN ENGINEERING INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS FAILURE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 71000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA51471B. FORD WINDSTAR 2001 problem was reported in FAYETTEVILLE, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Sept 15, 2006.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC . THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION AS DESIGNED BY FORD. THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE CAUSED BY HEAT IN THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM) ECM (ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE) (2C219) MODULE CAUSING EXPANSION OF A LARGE ALUMINUM PLATE (HEAT SINK) IN THE ECM WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE ECM MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD AT ALL POINTS. THE EXPANSION OCCURS WHEN THE UNIT GETS WARM ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS AND CAUSES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE UNIT BECAUSE THE FRAGILE BOARD IS BEING STRETCHED AND MALFORMED. THE CODE MOST COMMONLY SCANNED BY PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS IS CODE C1185 AND IS REVEALED AS A YELLOW ABS BRAKE LIGHT AND THE RED BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ABS ECM PART IS FAULTY AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS FORD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY REPAIR BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS DEFECTIVE PART AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS BECAUSE THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS DISABLED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE DRIVING TIME. I ORDERED A NEW ABS ECM UNIT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE UNIT TO PROTECT MY FAMILY. ORIGINAL PART HAS TO BE RETURNED AS THERE IS A CORE CHARGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW UNIT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMDA56481B. FORD WINDSTAR 2001 problem was reported in FRANKLIN, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 16, 2006.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. HAD THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE READ AND THE CODES WERE PO171 AND PO174 WHERE THE RESULT (BANK 1 AND BANK 2 SYSTEM TOO LEAN). DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND TSB 03-16-1 CONCERNING REPAIRS REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE TSB STATES THAT FORD USED A LH VALVE COVER THAT CONTAINED A 1/8 HOLE ALLOWING OIL TO GET ON THE RUBBER GROMMETS OF THE ISOLATOR BOLTS WHICH CONTAMINATED THEM. THIS RESULTED IN BREAKDOWN OF THE RUBBER GROMMETS AND A VACUUM LEAK TO OCCUR IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE TSB ALSO RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE LH VALVE COVER GASKET, PORT SEALS, ISOLATOR BOLTS U-SHAPED VACUUM LINE, AND UPPER INTAKE HALVES SEAL TO PREVENT FUTURE OCCURRENCES. THIS PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF FAULTY PARTS USED IN THE ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED WITH PROPER PARTS. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH PROBLEMS THE OWNER OF WINDSTARS FROM 1999-2003 HAVE HAD. EVENTUALLY, THE ENGINE WILL RUN VERY ROUGH AND CAN STALL CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 56000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMDA56481B. FORD WINDSTAR 2001 problem was reported in FRANKLIN, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

I NOTICED A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE LEAK. JUST RECENTLY MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. DURING AN INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE BRAKE SWITCH WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS NEEDED TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY AS IT COULD LEAD TO A FIRE. HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TILL THE PART COULD BE FIXED. IT WILL BE FIXED THIS WEEKEND AND I PLAN TO KEEP THE OLD PART. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING CONSIDERING THAT THE REASON MOST PEOPLE GET THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHILDREN. KNOWING THAT A VEHICLE COULD START ON FIRE WHILE CHILDREN ARE BEING TRANSPORTED IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING TO ME.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 05, 2008.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC . THE BRAKE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (2B264) LOCATED UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER (BEHIND THE AIR FILTER) OVER TIME DEVELOPS A LEAK. THIS CAUSES A SHORT AND A FUSE TRIP, FUSE #10 IF THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS LEAK ALSO CAUSES BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK DOWN TWO WIRES TO THE ABS BRAKE MODULE (2C219). THE FLUID ACCUMULATES ON THE (ALWAYS ON) POWER CONNECTORS FOR THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH ARE POWERED BY FUSES 101 AND 102 AND ARE BOTH 40 AMP. THE FLUID ATTACKS MOISTURE, ROAD SALT AND LEADS TO A FIRE WHEN THE FLUID AND MOISTURE ACT AS CONDUCTOR BETWEEN THE HOT LEADS AND GROUND. THIS SWITCH HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF OTHER FORD RECALLS, JUST NOT THE WINDSTAR VAN YET. NOTICE THE FLUID THAT LEAKED ON THE PART BELOW IT. THIS SWITCH WILL CAUSE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEMS, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND ABS BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 181000 miles.

FORD WINDSTAR 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 09, 2008.FORD WINDSTAR 2001, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . WHILE DRIVING THE VAN AND APPROACHING A STOP, THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP (HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE). WE FILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER BACK UP WITH FLUID, AND IT WORKED FOR 1 DAY, UNTIL THE FLUID LEAKED OUT. THEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE AWARE OF SOME SORT OF BRAKE PROBLEM, WE DROVE MUCH MORE CAUTIOUSLY AND HESITANTLY. WE STOPPED THE VAN AND DROVE IT HOME VERY SLOWLY. THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK WHERE IT CONNECTS INTO WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE POWER BOOSTER. IN MY SHORT RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON, BUT TYPICALLY RESULTS IN FIRE OR FAULTY DASHBOARD LIGHTS. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT FIXED THE VEHICLE, BUT WILL BE FIXING IT TODAY. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AS OF YET. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 75000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA52451B.

MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR HAS A CRACK IN THE REAR AXLE. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AND THE AXLE CRACKS IN TWO PIECES CAUSING AT LEAST THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVEN AT MODERATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE COULD BE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. SO FAR I DON;T SEE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT FROM FORD. THE MILEAGE OF MY FORD WINDSTAR IS 71,000 MILES. IT SEEMS THAT THE AXLE IS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE BUT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETIES SAKE.
