DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, POWER WINDOWS, RADIO, AND HEATER WOULD STAY ON AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED. THE FUSE HAS TO BE REMOVED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. HE FOUND RECALL 00V351000 ON LINE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN HE CONTACTED THE DEALER , THEY SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. ALSO THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE OFF SWITCH FOR CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK. THE CRUISE CONTROL COULD ONLY BE TURNED OFF BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. *AK

RIGHT FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VAN, I HAVE HAD ONE ISSUE OR THE OTHER. HERE ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR ISSUES. 1. TIRES - MY NEW VAN HAD BUMPS ON ALL 4 TIRES. EVERY TIRE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WOULD BURST ON DRIVING. THEY WERE GENERAL TIRES. I WENT TO FORD MANY TIMES AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM ALSO TO NO AVAIL. AFTER 12,000 MILES, I DECIDED TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES MYSELF FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. 2. AT 15,000 MILES, I HAD TO GET MY FRONT BRAKES CHANGED AS THEY HAD REACHED THEIR END OF LIFE. 3. AT 15,000 MILES, I ALSO HAD TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AS WELL AS DROP PAN CHANGED AS THEY WORN OUT 4. AT 30,000 MILES, I HAD TO GET MY FRONT BRAKE PADS AGAIN CHANGED (THESE WERE ALSO WORN OUT). WHAT IS SURPRISING...

ON MAY 27, 2002, I WAS ON VACATION WITH MY FAMILY USING OUR 2000 FORD WINDSTAR. I WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT AND WAS TRYING TO GET OUT WHEN I TRIPPED AND LANDED WITH MY KNEE ON STEPPING AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE FORCE OF MY LANDING (WHICH WASN'T THAT HARD) CAUSED THE SIDE DOOR TO UNLATCH FROM IT'S GROOVED MOLDING AND SHUT ON MY ARM WITH FULL FORCE. I WAS LUCKY NOT HAVE ANY BROKEN BONES (BUT DID HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND HAVE X-RAYS) HOWEVER I WAS UNABLE TO WORK OR REALLY TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN (I HAD A 1 YR OLD AND 5 YR OLD AT THE TIME) FOR A GOOD MONTH (I WENT BACK TO WORK AFTER A WEEK BUT WITH PAIN). I CALLED FULLERTON FORD AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THE FIRST STEP WAS TO COME IN...
