FORD WINDSTAR 2000: MY CAR ENGINE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ON WHEN START THE ENGINE. ALSO HAS OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHING WHEN START ENGINE AND WHEN SWIFT GEARS. *TR

I OWN A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO BE SERVICED BECAUSE THE INTAKE GASKETS AND ISOLATOR BOLTS HAVE WORN OUT DUE TO TIME. AS A RESULT THE CAR SOMETIMES TREMBLES IN PARKING MODE AND IDLES AND STALLS WHEN THE CAR STOPS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I DID FIND IT SUSPICIOUS THAT THESE PARTS HAVE WORN OUT AFTER ONLY SIX YEARS OF USE, (LESS THAN THE COMMON 10 YEAR LIFESPAN OF A CAR). ACCORDING TO THE FORD SERVICE COUNSELOR THIS PROBLEM HAS LATELY BECOME MORE FREQUENT WITH THIS CAR MODEL. *JB

AT THIS TIME WE ARE LEASING A 2000 WINDSTAR LX AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO TURN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP - AND WE PLAN TO NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. WE HAVE PURCHASED A USED HONDA ACCORD AND EXPECT THAT WE WILL BE QUITE HAPPY WITH IT... THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXHAUST/EMISSIONS WAS FIXED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WILL NOT GO OUT - EASTGATE FORD, DAYTON, OH DOES NOT KNOW WHY THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT. THE PAINT ON THE LUGGAGE RACK IS PEELING OFF. THE DOOR ACTUATOR ON THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR - DOES NOT WORK - IT TAKES 2 PEOPLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, ONE INSIDE AND ONE OUTSIDE.

THE ABS SYSTEM STILL IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. THE MECHANICS SAY THAT THE ABS AND THE EMISSIONS COULD VERY WELL BE CAUSED BY THE SAME PROBLEM - A FAULTY COMPUTER. BOTH MODULES HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED TO BE BAD, HOWEVER, THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO USE A "POST WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT" TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE THAT WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS CAN BE CONSIDERED ANYTHING BUT MANUFACTURER DEFECTS.
