A/C SYSTEM WAS FOUND TO BE TOTALLY LOW ON FREON. AFTER REPLACING FREON, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE REAR AC LOW PRESSURE PIPE HAD A LEAK LOCATED NEXT TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THIS AREA THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PIPE LEAK TO OCCUR, SUCH AS ANOTHER PIPE RUBBING AGAINST IT OR OTHER FORM OF FRICTION. IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE PIPE WAS STRUCTURALLY DEFECTIVE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TAILGATE WINDOW FOR MY 2000 FORD WINDSTAR. 2007 JULY, IT JUST SHATTERED WITHOUT ANY SIGN/ WARNING WHEN I WAS ON MY TRIP TO THE PROVINCIAL PARK. I REPLACED IT THINKING ABOUT I MAY BE THE 'LUCKY ONE'! LAST NIGHT AGAIN ON MY WAY TO OTTAWA AROUND KINGSTON ON HWY 401, IT STARTED FROM THE WIPER/ BRAKE LIGHT AREA AND SHATTERED. MY DAUGHTER WAS SO AFRAID BECAUSE SHE WAS SEATING AT THE BACK 2 TIMES IN A ROW!! I WAS QUESTIONING ABOUT THE OCCURANCE AND FREQUENCY??? I HAVE TO PAY $400 FOR EACH REPLACEMENT!! *TR

I HAVE A FORD WINDSTAR WITH 93,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE VEHICLE TIRES WERE SLANTED ON AN ANGLE ON DAY! THIS WAS VERY ODD LOOKING, AS YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE AND AFTER A REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE HOUSING WAS CRACKED (AND RUSTED) RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, CLOSER TO ONE SIDE; LEAVING THE CARE NON-DRIVABLE DUE TO POSSIBLE BLOW-OUT OCCURRENCE. AFTER HAVING NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND AFTER PUTTING OVER $600 DOLLARS INTO THE VEHICLE HAVE ONLY FOUND THAT OTHER FORD WINDSTARS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, HOWEVER THIS WAS DAMAGING TO MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT! I WOULD STILL HOWEVER BUY FORD VEHICLES AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY CASE KNOWN IN THIS SITUATION. *TR

I INTEND TO SEND A LETTER TO OUR STATE SENATOR BECAUSE OF THE UNFAIR SERVICE AND QUALITY OF THIS CAR. I ASKED POK. FORD TO CHECK A VIBRATION IN THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS TOLD TO GET NEW ROTORS AND NEW BRAKES. THEY SAID INSPECTION WAS DUE SOON, SO I SAID FINE FIX IT, BUT ALSO DO AN INSPECTION. AFTER FIXING, THE PEDAL STILL VIBRATES. THEY SAY THE TIRES, THEY'RE BALD AND STRAP IS SHIFTED, KNOWING THIS THEY PASSED MY CAR ANYWAY. CONCERNED I WENT TO BJ'S TIRE CENTER THE FOLLOWING DAY TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IF THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES BECAUSE THEY HAD NO TREADS, GAVE ME AN ALIGNMENT AND SAID THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL. ON THE WAY TO THE DOCTORS WITH MY CHILDREN I FELT MY GAS PEDAL STICK. FORD CLAIMS THAT MAYBE THE...

MY 2000 FORD WINDSTAR SEL WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES PLACED MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE, ON DECEMBER 30, 2003. THE TRANSMISSION LITERALLY "BROKE" WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A 5 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD FOUR CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME, AND MY VAN GAVE NO INDICATION OF TRANSMISSION TROUBLE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED, THAT IS HOW STRONG THE IMPACT WAS. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS, (WHY WOULD A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES VIOLENTLY QUIT?) IT BECAME QUITE OBVIOUS TO MANY CONSUMERS THAT THE FORD COMPANY HAS KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS THE DEFICITS WITH THEIR WINDSTAR TRANSMISSIONS. IT IS A CRIME FOR THE FORD COMPANY TO CONTINUE TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT AS A FAMILY SAFE VEHICLE, WHEN THEY KNOW FULL WELL THE DANGER FAMILIES ARE IN. AGAIN, IT IS ONLY THE...
