Ford Windstar 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Pedals And LinkagesFord Windstar 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Pedals And Linkages Review #10158721 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on May 31, 2006.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES . my wife was in the process of parking her 2003 ford windstar in a parking lot. as she went to apply the brakes, the pedal went down to the level of the gas pedal causing her foot to engage both the brake and the accelerator at the same time. the car lurched forward and she hit a post (thankfully not a person). probably did about a $1000 in damage. the reason i am writing is that this is the second time this has happened. the first time was about a month after we bought the vehicle. the same type of situation in a parking lot. at that time i called the ford dealer where we bought the car and inquired if there had been any bulletins about such a problem. i was told no. now my wife could have been at fault but i believe there is a real problem with the brake system as i have experienced the same situation myself. when letting off the gas pedal at low speed and then touching the brake pedal, there feels like a loss of brake pressure momentarily. what then happens is that the brake pedal depresses to the level of the accelerator pedal and the driver then engages both brake and accelerator at the same time. instead of stopping, the car lurches forward because the acceleration overrides the soft (temporary) brake pedal pressure. i'm thinking there is a problem with the brake system pressure at idle when the car is moving. hence the pedal depresses further than usual and the side of the driver's foot then also pushes the accelerator down in addition to the brake pedal. the fact that this happened when the car was new and still happens today makes me think it is a engineering problem coupled with a design problem. the pedals may also be too close together which increases the likelihood of this problem happening. note: the car's brakes work fine otherwise and we do normal service on the vehicle. *jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

Ford Windstar 2003 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine GasolineFord Windstar 2003 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Gasoline Review #10160709 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 13, 2004.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE . twice my vehicle went in for repair for engine running lean. the first time they said it was a faulty mass flow sensor, $ 400.00 to repair. a few months latter the same code comes up i took it back to the dealer. this time they said ford had issued a repair for the vehicle. it seems the valve cover was faulty and allowing oil to drip down and caused the gasket on the intake manifold to leak causing air to leak in the engine, which caused the engine running lean copde to come on. they have had quite a few windstars with this problem. that is why they came out with the service bulletin to make the repair. which included a new valve cover and other parts. which cost another $ 700.00 to repair. i believe that ford should be responsible for the repair as there was a faulty valve cover that caused the engine running lean code to appear. *jb.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2FMZA57433B.

(purchased new). i have had other electrical problems as well. windows do not work all of the time. also ran this by ford. they wanted $80 for each electric issue. would of cost me $400 just to see what was causing the problem. i did my own research on line and found out this was a very common problem. seems to me the dealer did not really need to run the diagnostic and should have had a good idea as to what was causing the problem. i have not had a fire yet but may not be around of this issue does cause a fire. seems odd a recall has not occurred yet. typical though, usually it takes a death to get government agencies to respond. maybe this time you can act sooner rather than later. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35000 miles.

Ford Windstar 2003 Service Brakes, HydraulicFord Windstar 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10296811 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2004.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . my yellow abs brake light and my red brake light indicator come on whenever my brake lines begin to heat while driving. i have also had intermittent problems with the over drive light coming on and off, and the odometer and the speedometer failing. this has occurred since the windstar van was new. the previous owner had tried to have the sensors replaced but it continued to happen, and still happens now with me. i am concerned that if the brakes do fail or need repair, i won't know as the lights are always on, anyway. i am also concerned with the possibility of fire due to a short, or being ticketed as i never know when the speedometer will begin to fail. i was told by an independent mechanic that there was an unspecified electrical short causing these issues, and that it would difficult or impossible to trace. i am experiencing both problems 1 & 2 as described on the following website. **** http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/ **** the issue of the abs brake light is critical in that the abs brake system does not function as designed by ford. the issue is 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. seen by us owners as a yellow abs brake light. *tr.Mileage was 0 miles.

Ford Windstar 2003 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Review #10422420 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2009.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . the abs and brake lights had simultaneously been coming on intermittently since sometime in 2008 (a 5-year-old vehicle), occurring with greater frequency as time went on. however, since about march 2011 they now come on every day, usually within 2 minutes of starting the vehicle. there were no accidents or damage leading up to this failure--the problem is inherent in the module. after about the first year of intermittent failure i had a ford dealership technician diagnose the problem; he told me it was due to a bad ecm for the abs (which i already suspected, having done some prior research); we had a conversation about it concerning the aluminum heat sink plate; he told me it was a bad design, it should've never been designed that way. in may 2011, after the warning lights were coming on daily, i had some other service work done at a ford dealership; in speaking with the service representative i asked about the abs and brake lights, he told me the abs ecm was bad, that many of them go bad like that because it's a bad design and he had in fact just replaced one the week before for a customer--it was $1,400. these same modules were used on earlier model years of the windstar, and all model years using this module have had failures. when the module is not functioning, the anti-lock brake system- does not engage. when the system fails, this can lead to unexpected wheel lock-up and uncontrolled sliding, increased braking distances, and greater risk of injury accident. the vehicle is equipped with abs, and as a safety feature it must not fail--just like seatbelts, airbags and tmps. with the system failing daily now, i fear this coming winter the vehicle will not respond as expected when braking on snow-covered roads. with 2 ford employees telling me this module is a bad design, with the relatively low part cost for the module (actual cost, not marked-up), considering the factor of safety at stake, this should be repaired under a recall, the same as any safety system. *tr.Mileage was 99850 miles.

( traveling along the highway all of a sudden without any type of warning boom no gears at all.) i really wish i would have done some more research before i purchased this van considering way over half of them are junk. thanks for your time and hopefully action is taken upon these ford vans and something is done. thank you *tr.Mileage was 87355 miles.

Ford Windstar 2003 Service Brakes Review #10480197 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 02, 2006.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . this vehicle has had abs control unit problems since it was three years old in 2006. the condition being described is not to be confused with a previous windstar recall involving a leaking brake fluid pressure switch (nhtsa action #ea08021). the first occurrence was in the spring of 2006 (one month or a few thousand miles after warranty expiration) when i was about 200 miles from home on a trip driving up interstate 91 in ma in the rain. glanced down at dash display and saw both the brake system warning and abs system warning lights on. i stopped to check the brake fluid. when the car was turned off and restarted, the warning lights turned off. that was 6 years ago and the problem continued to progress to an extremely predictable pattern. in warm weather, (over 40 degrees f), the abs system will not function and the warning lights are on. when winter comes, the warning lights go away and the abs works normally. i was told by dealer that it would be a $700 repair. since the system worked in the winter (when i need the abs the most) and had spent a lot of money on several other engineering defects of this car, i have lived with the problem. it was mostly an annoyance. having done some research though, i have found that there are many other windstars with identical symptoms and they center on a defect of the abs module design. after the module has been cycled thermally for hundreds of times in service (heating, cooling, heating, cooling, etc.) there are solder connections on the pcb that are no longer reliable and become intermittently connected. it basically is an electrical or mechanical engineering 101 topic known as tce (thermal coefficient of expansion) mismatch. my concern now is that the failure is progressively getting worse and extending further in to the cold weather period. any design issue with a brake system or component is a serious safety issue. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 42000 miles.

Ford Windstar 2003 Structure Frame And Members Underbody ShieldsFord Windstar 2003 Structure Frame And Members Underbody Shields Review #10551905 FORD WINDSTAR 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 07, 2013.FORD WINDSTAR 2003, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS . the issue with my vehicle is with its subframe. the front driver's side portion of it is rusting out. i took it in on 11/4/13 to a licensed vehicle service place for a regular oil change, only to have the mechanic tell me the subframe is rusting out. after learning this news (and viewing the subframe myself to observe the condition), i took it into a ford dealership to have it further inspected. the second inspection was on 11/7/13. at the local ford dealership, they also inspected the rear axle (which was part of a ford recall in the past). the dealership could see where an attempt to apply some type of coating to it another time did not change the fact that there was now a six-inch crack running down the center of the axle. a service consultant from the dealership took many pictures to send to ford. i did not drive my vehicle home that day. a ford rep came in the next day, and one of the things he was to do was to inspect my vehicle. from what i was told, and from what the initial ford service consultant said, was that it was a unanimous recommendation to ford to replace the subframe. ford, however, refused, even after many attempts to have the "why" question answered, and they would not provide an answer. before our ownership of the vehicle, when the initial subframe recall existed, the vehicle's subframe apparently was not corroding profusely in 2011. brackets were installed, and the problem was considered "fixed." less than a year and a half into our ownership of the vehicle, the subframe is rotting, and ford will do nothing to repair it as she told me today (11/12/13) in my conversation with [xxx] from ford (1-800-392-ford). though they have the pictures somewhere in their system, they have considered the case closed. our family vehicle can not be safely used for the family. please hold ford accountable for the safety of their vehicles. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 84549 miles.

"what would you like ford to do?" i want a car that is not continually falling apart. i wanted a buy back option in the beginning. i feel that a significant percentage above blue book is required at dealer price levels. i kept the van after the first repairs because i could not afford another vehicle and i could not bring myself to sleep at night worrying about the person and their family i sold it to. i see no reason why the buy back option should not be available to me and others out there with these repairs that are faulty. i guess enough people haven't died for the corporate people to lose sleep and bring back the vehicles that can kill others because of manufacturer defects. please share the images on facebook and with family and friends that you love. this will kill someone if it hasn't already. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 135000 miles.

Ford Windstar 2003 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
