NHTSA Complaint #10434488 — 2003 FORD WINDSTAR

THE MIDDLE SEAT DOOR LOCKS FAIL RANDOMLY. WHEN THEY FAIL, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN DOORS. MUST CLICK LOCKS OPEN AND CLOSE APPROX TEN TIMES TO MAKE THE DOOR OPEN OPERATE. WE HAD IT REPAIRED IN APR 2010. THEY WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. THE ADDITIONAL LIGHTING PACKAGE LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. THAT WAS REPAIRED AT SAME TIME AND WORKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH ALSO. WE HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED AND PAID ABOUT $800 FOR SERVICE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, GURNEE FORD, 18834 WEST GRAND AVENUE IN GURNEE ILLINOIS 60031, RECEIPT DATED APRIL 15, 2010. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE DOORS NEED TO OPEN AND THE FLICKERING LIGHTS COME ON AND ARE A GREAT DISTRACTION ESP AT NIGHT.
