NHTSA Complaint #10381210 — 2002 FORD WINDSTAR

AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM LITERALLY IN SHOCK! NOT TO MENTION SCARED TO DEATH NOT ONLY FOR MY CHILD'S LIVES, BUT FOR MYSELF/HUSBAND AND OTHER CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER'S & FRIENDS THAT HAVE ALSO TRAVELED WITH US PAST/PRESENT! THIS IS A SHAME, THAT THIS MANY WINDSTARS HAVE ALL HAD THIS MANY/RELATIVE PROBLEMS! I FOR ONE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW EVERY REVIEW FROM SO MANY STATES WERE ALL LINKED! AS I READ MANY OF THESE REVIEWS/COMPLAINTS I HONESTLY HAD TO ASK MYSELF HAVE I POSTED HERE BEFORE? -AS YOU CAN TELL MY WINDSTAR IS YET ANOTHER VICTIM ADDED TO THE LIST. I TOOK MY VAN IN YESTERDAY TO A FORD DEALER FOR THE RECALLS, PICKED IT UP TODAY. I WAS GIVEN A INSPECTION REPORT CARD WITH DIFFERENT SYSTEMS/COMPONENTS/TIRE/BRAKE WEAR ETC... 3 BOXES ALONG SIDE OF EACH GREEN, YELLOW & RED WITH THE SIMILAR MEANING AS A STOP LIGHT. GREEN=OK, YELLOW=MAY REQUIRE FUTURE ATTENTION & RED=IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY TIRES BOX WERE CHECKED YELLOW FOR ALL 4. THIS SEEMED ODD TO ME CONSIDERING I HAVE A RECEIPT THAT SHOWS IT HASN'T BEEN A MONTH SINCE I HAD 2 BRAND NEW GOODYEARS PUT ON THE FRONT! HOWEVER, I DO AGREE WITH THE REMARK REGARDING THE BACK. BUT THIS CONCERNED ME AS TO WHAT TYPE OF INSPECTION MY VAN HAD WENT UNDER.?. AND NEED I SAY BEFORE I GOT HOME FROM A 25 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE FORD DEALER MY ABS & BRAKE LIGHTS ARE BACK ON, SURPRISE! I'M GOING TO CONTACT FORD IN THE MORNING, IN REGARDS OF HOPEFULLY GETTING A HELPFUL ANSWER/EXPLANATION OR AT LEAST A ANOTHER APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR A SECOND OPINION REGARDING MY RECALL INSPECTION! *TR
