NHTSA Complaint #10268207 — 2003 FORD WINDSTAR

WE BOUGHT A USED 2003 FORD WINDSTAR LX. WE HAVE HAD ONE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHTS GOING ON. ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS GO ON AND STAY ON OR THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND FLICKERING. YESTERDAY THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE ON AGAIN. RECENTLY THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. THIS MORNING WE WERE AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO PULL OUT ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. MY HUSBAND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE ENGINE ROARED BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD NOR WOULD IT MOVE BACKWARD WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. WE HAVE HAD THIS VAN AT THE GARAGE NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THESE REPAIRS. EACH TIME BEING TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. EACH TIME SPENDING SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. *TR
