Consumer Description

2003 FORD WINDSTAR WITH AUTOMATIC POWER SLIDING DOORS. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT WHERE THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY OPENED WHEN THEY WERE CLOSED AND LOCKED. THE FIRST 2X I RETURNED TO FIND THE DOORS OPENED AND RETRACTED. THE THIRD MY 3 YEAR OLD WAS SEATED IN HER CAR SEAT WHEN THE DOOR OPENED WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A HAZARD AND MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS IGNORED MY PHONE CALLS AND FORD SERVICE THEY CAN FIND NO PROBLEM AND CLEANED THE CONTACTS. I WILL FILE SUIT IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO ADDRESS THIS HORRIBLE DEFECT. *JB
