Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I JUST BOUGHT THE 2003 FORD WINDSTAR EX, AND WE'VE EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERING OFF AND ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS !! HOW DO WE KNOW IF THERE REALLY IS A BRAKE PROBLEM IF THE BRAKE LIGHT RESETS AND TURNS BACK ON WHILE DRIVING ? IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE DRIVING. WE ARE FINDING OUT THE EXTENT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MODEL. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS DRAINING OUR VEHICLE BATTERY EVERY NIGHT ! I'VE FILED SEVERAL OF THE ISSUES WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT, AND HAVE SEEN THE COMPLAINTS ON LINE. WHAT A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SERIOUS INCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE FORD IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BAD PRODUCT !!! I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THANK YOU. *TR
