Consumer Description

CAR IS GETTING INCREASINGLY MORE DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO GEAR. LOCKS INTO PARK. HAVE TRIED WORKING BRAKE, TILTING STEERING COLUMN, BUCKLE SEAT BELT, ETC. SEEMS TO LOCK UP IN THE COLUMN. CAN HEAR AN AUDIBLE CLICK WHEN IT FINALLY RELEASES..USUALLY ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AFTER PLAYING WITH IT. HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB TO SEE IF ANY PRIOR RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE MANY FRIENDS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WINDSTARS. (MILEAGE NOT ORIGINAL...HAD DASH REPLACED BY FORD'S FOR A FAULTY TEMPERATURE GAUGE) APPROXIMATELY 60,000 ORIG MILES.
