Consumer Description

VEHICLE IS A FORD WINDSTAR LIMITED 2003 MINIVAN. THE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM CAME ON DURING NORMAL OPERATION AND ON DRY PAYMENT AND UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SPINNING AND I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN SLOWED TO A STOP ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE AS IF THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS BEING TORN APART. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM. AFTER TESTING THE TRANSMISSION AND I PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. WHEN I WAS A FEW HUNDRED FEET FROM MY HOME I TURNED THE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM BACK ON AND IT REPEATED THE SAME SCENARIO. I THEN PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND CALL A TOWED TRUCK FOR DELIVERY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *JB
