Consumer Description

MY 2001 WINDSTAR HAS BEEN BLOWING DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHTS. NOT ONLY DOES THE LIGHT BLOW BUT THE ENTIRE GLASS PART OF BULB BLOWS COMPLETELY OFF. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME WE HAVE CHANGED BULB. THIS TIME I WAS 60 MILES FROM HOME ON A ROAD FULL OF 18 WHEELERS. WHEN THE HEAD LIGHT BLOWS SO DOES MY TAIL LIGHTS. SO I MUST DRIVE HOME WITH 4 WAY FLASHERS ON. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE THIS VAN IS BECAUSE WE HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND HAVE TO USE A VAN TO GO ANYWHERE. WHICH MEANS MY CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS IN IT WHEN IT MESSES UP. THIS TIME ,ALSO, WHEN TRYING TO GET THE VAN BACK HOME, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS KEPT GOING ON AND OFF BY THERE SELF. AND AS ALWAYS THE MOTOR STUTTERS AND MAKES IT HARD TO GO UP ANY HILL. WE LIVE IN ALABAMA. EVERY ROAD I TAKE IS NOTHING BUT HILLS. *JB
