2003 FORD WINDSTAR Electrical System Problems

THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND OUR MECHANIC INFORMED US THEY ARE FINE. THE INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON ONCE THE CAR HAS WARMED UP OR IT IS RAINY OR HOT OUTSIDE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 3-4 YEARS.

ABS AND BRAKE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AT ANYTIME....DRIVING,STOPPED AT RED LIGHT,TURN ENGINE ON..GOING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD...ETC,ETC,ETC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 FORD WINDSTAR MODEL SEL, I'M ENCOUNTERING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM/ABS, AS WELL AS, MY CLUSTER GAUGE GOING HAYWIRE DOING WHAT IT WANTS ON AND OFF ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS STARTING TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. I'VE GONE TO FORD FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND A FEW OTHERS. FORD LOOKED AT MY CAR AND TOLD ME THE REAR AXEL HAD CRACKED AND THEY REPAIRED THE AXEL ON RECALL. I INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ABS BREAKING SYSTEM. I'VE BEEN TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS IN STATEN ISLAND, NY. ONE DEALER TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM NOT SURE IF IT'S RELATED TO CLUSTER GAUGE/BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY TOLD ME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW MOTOR AS WELL, WHICH FORD FIXED SUPPOSEDLY. AS FAR AS THE BRAKING SYSTEM GOES THEY TOLD ME THEY TOOK IT FOR A RIDE AND...

BRAKING DISTANCE SUDDENLY INCREASED. ABS LIGHT ON, ON DASHBOARD. BRAKE LIGHT ON, ON DASHBOARD. RECALL WORK WAS DONE. *TR

AS THE DRIVERS OF FORD WINDSTARS WE ALL GOT TREATED UNFAIR FORD WONT EVEN HELP ITS CURRENT FORD WINDSTAR DRIVERS I'VE MET ALOT WINDSTAR OWNERS AND THEY ARE AGITATED,, FIRST OFF ONLY HAD THIS SINCE LAST YEAR AND AFTER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OF THIS IT HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE VAN TO DRIVE, FIRST CHANGING THE ALTERNATOR 3 X'S AND THE BATTERY 4'S REALLY WOULD GET A PERSON VIOLENT, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE BEYOND THE MILE OF SERVICE AS FORD ALWAYS TALKS, DON'T GET ME WRONG THE VAN CAN GO MILES TIL EMPTY, ALSO, THE BACK WINDOWS THE DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T OPEN, IT GETS HOT BACK THERE, OH WAIT THE AC DON'T WORK IN THE REAR EITHER, DON'T GO TO FAR ON A HOT RIDE 4 HOURS AWAY, YOU'LL BE SWEATING WITHIN THE 10 MILES YOU'LL BE DRENCHED, WHEN YOU OPEN A CAR OR VAN , BIG RIG,LIMO, BUS,...

WHILE DRIVING, TURN SIGNAL WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER TURN WAS MADE. I COULD NOT MANUALLY TURN IT OFF. ALL GAUGES BEGAN TO GO CRAZY. SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER REVOLVED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER THEN SETTLED AT THE BOTTOM AND DID NOT REGISTER SPEED OR RPM. FUEL GAUGE SETTLED TO THE BOTTOM AND THE TEMP GAUGE DID THE SAME. ODOMETER WENT OUT (IT IS DIGITAL) AND THE VAN HEATER CEASED TO FUNCTION. IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES OR SO ALL GAUGES BEGAN TO GO CRAZY AGAIN AND THEY SETTLED BACK INTO A STATE WHERE EVERYTHING REGISTERED NORMALLY. THE HEATER CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS OUT. I REACHED MY DESTINATION AND WAS OUT OF THE VAN FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS AND RETURNED TO THE VAN TO GO HOME AND EVERYTHING STARTED UP AND WORKED NORMALLY ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY OVER THE...

THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER & CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK & ABS PUMP RAN CONTINUOUSLY. ABS & BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP. WAS AROUND 80-85 DEG.F & LIGHTS SHUT OFF ONCE THE ENGINE COOLED. DIAGNOSIS WAS DEFECTIVE BRAKE CONTROL MOD. PULLED FUSE 101 TO KEEP PUMP FROM RUNNING. IN 2012 THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON WITH FUSE IN AND THE SPEEDO & ODO WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. NOV. 2013, LOST SPEEDO & ODO ALL TOGETHER. *TR

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE ACCORDING TO CODE C1185 ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND THEY STILL WORKED. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THEM OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WORKED OK CONTINUED ON MY TRIP. HAVE SINCE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES THIS HIS OCCURRED. HAVE FOUND OUT THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND HAS REACHED NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE ABS MODULE IS BAD! I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. LIGHTS ARE ANNOYING THOUGH. *TR

ABS & BRAKE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME AND THE SYSTEMS DON'T WORK WHEN LIGHT IS ON THEREFORE THEY AREN'T NEVER WORKING AND MY ODOMETER QUIT WORKING AND MY OTHER GAUGES GO CRAZY LIKE IT'S AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM GONE CRAZY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT GAUGES ACTUALLY WORK AND WHICH ONES DON'T CAUSE THEY SEEM TO GO CRAZY AND READ DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME. BUT, MY ABS & BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT. *TR

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, ABS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WHEN LIGHT IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

ABS/AIRBAG, TIRE GAUGE LIGHTS ON - EBCM MODULE FAILURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WHITEFISH MONTANA WHICH IS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM MY HOME WHEN THE VAN JUST STOPPED, IT KEPT RUNNING BUT WOULD NOT MOVE SO I SHUT THE VAN OFF AND IT WOULDN'T START UNLESS IT WAS JUMPED, SO WE JUMPED IT ALL THE WAY HOME. WE ENDED UP REPLACING THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR THE VAN RAN GOOD FOR ONE DAY AND THAN MY O/D LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE VAN WAS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUR OF FIRST CAUSING ME TO ONLY GO 35 MPH IN A 70 MPH, NOT FUN AT ALL. GOT IT HOME AND LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION ON LINE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK THE #19 FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND SURE ENOUGH THE FUSE WAS BLOWN SO I DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT BLEW AGAIN. SO WE PUT IN A...

SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. ABS LIGHT ON (WHICH HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS). *TR

BOUGHT THE 2003 WINDSTAR IN 04/26/ 2004 IT WAS A CERTIFIED PROGRAM CAR FROM A DEALER AND HAD MILEAGE OF 013335 WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT. FIRST THE REAR DOORS WILL CLOSE AND THEN REOPEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS IN THE DOORS STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM, SECOND THE BALL JOINTS NEED REPLACED, THIRD THE PASSENGER WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN INTERMITTENTLY, FOURTH LIFT GATE DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON YOU GET OUT AND SHUT IT AND IT STILL IS ON NEXT TIME YOU OPEN AND CLOSE MAYBE A DAY OR TWO LATER IT WILL GO OFF, FIFTH THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON AND SIXTH THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND WON'T GO OFF. THE SIDE DOORS AND THE WINDOW WAS NOTICED BEFORE THE WARRANTY WENT OUT SO WE BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

REAR AXLE COMPLETELY SNAPPED IN TWO. ALSO, THE VAN HAS THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON TOOK IN FOR A CODE READ AND NOTHING. THE ELECTRICAL ACTS VERY STRANGE MUSIC AND LIGHTS FADE IN AND OUT AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS VERY JERKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER 12V195000 (SUSPENSION), THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY ELECTRICAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME AFTER DRIVING FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THESE LIGHTS COME ON, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROLS ARE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE, AND IN BAD WEATHER THIS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE FASTER WHEN IT IS WARMER OUTSIDE. I BELIEVE THAT AT $2800 TO REPAIR, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE A RECALL, ESPECIALLY IN A FAMILY VEHICLE WHERE CHILDREN COULD BE IN DANGER. *TR

THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH OUR FORD WINDSTAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. UPON UNLOCKING THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE, ONLY THE REAR HATCH WILL UNLOCK. ALL OF THE OTHER DOORS TRY TO UNLOCK, BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH POWER TO PUSH THE LOCK ALL THE WAY UP. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. THIS IS NOT ONLY A VERY OBNOXIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE EACH OF THE DOORS MUST BE UNLOCKED BY HAND, BUT THIS COULD ALSO BE A SIGN OF OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IN AN EMERGENCY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. *TR

WE HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY INFORMED ABOUT ALL OF THE RECALLS OR OTHER ISSUES WITH OUR VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOES HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS FROM THE ELECTRICAL, STRUCTURE, ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS THROWING CODES NEEDING A LOT OF SENSOR REPLACEMENTS AT OUR COST, THE RPMS SEEM TO RUN FAST SITTING AT A LIGHT(WE HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTART), AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RUN HOT, BRAKES, CRUISE CONTROL(CANNOT USE), TRACTION CONTROL(CANNOT USE), INTERIOR LIGHT ARE ALWAYS FLICKERING, PASSENGER WINDOWS(CANNOT USE) AND DOOR LOCKS(CANNOT USE), BOTH REAR WINDOWS(CANNOT USE), LEAKS FROM ROOF, REAR DOOR AND SLIDING DOORS, THE CRUISE CONTROL, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING(WE WERE TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT WE CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WE WON'T HAVE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.), THE AC IS ALWAYS HAVING TROUBLE STAYING CHARGED, THE AC/HEAT CONTROL SWITCHES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED(IT HAS TO BE SET AWAY...

FOR A FEW YEARS, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON. IT HAS MOSTLY BEEN DURING THE WARMER MONTHS OF THE YEAR. ALSO, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON. SOMETIMES THE TWO LIGHTS COME ON TOGETHER SOMETIMES INDIVIDUALLY. ALSO, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH TIRE PRESSURE. NOW I HAVE A NEW ISSUE- THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING INCORRECTLY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE I AM TEACHING MY SON HOW TO DRIVE AND HE IS VERY NERVOUS ALREADY, NOW HE HAS NO IDEA HOW FAST HE IS GOING! THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. MOSTLY, IT IS INDICATING ABOUT HALF OF THE VEHICLES ACTUAL SPEED. I ALSO GOT AN AIRBAG WARNING YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME. I ASSUME THIS ISSUE WILL START TO SHOW UP MORE...

BATTERY WAS DEAD ALL OF A SUDDEN... JUMPED IT AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING... DOME LIGHT DASH LIGHTS... WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND THEY WERE TURNED OFF... DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN UNTIL THE GAS WAS PRESSED AND THEN IT ALL CAME BACK ON... CALLED SEVERAL PLACES AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG.

THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON FREQUENTLY AT ANY TIME FOR NO REASON. MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES; HE THINKS IT IS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT CANNOT GET A STATE INSPECTION WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON. *TR

BOUGHT USED VEHICLE FROM DEALER AND NOTICED THE ABS/BRAKE LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ON. IT WAS "FIXED" BEFORE COMPLETING THE PURCHASE. LASTED FOR A FEW DAYS BEFORE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON. WAS TOLD IT NOT A BIG DEAL, SO I DIDNT WORRY ABOUT IT. WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY OTHER ISSUES UNTIL 1.5 YEARS LATER WHEN I TURNED THE DEFROST FAN ON AND IT STALLED THE MOTOR AS I WAS TRAVELING. THE NEXT WEEKEND MY HUSBAND WANTED TO LOOK AT IT AND AFTER THE VAN IDLED FOR A FEW MINUTES, TURNED ON THE DEFROST AND IT DID NOT STALL, CALLED IT A FLUKE UNTIL WE POPPED THE HOOD AND HAD SMOKE COMING OUT! *TR

ABS LIGHT WILL GO ON AND OFF WHEN THE WEATHER GETS WARM. STAYS OFF IN COLD WEATHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS CORRODED AND FRACTURED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V385000 (SUSPENSION). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

BOTH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKING LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ILLUMINATED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF HAVING STARTED THE CAR. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES FAILED, INCLUDING DIRECTIONALS, BRAKE LIGHTS, ETC. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, HOWEVER IT STRUGGLED ON UPHILL CLIMBS. *TR

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE SHORT TIME THE WARNING LIGHT FOR ABS MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ALONG W/ BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTANTLY. LIKELY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT PROBLEM IS LOW FLUID IN MASTERCYLINDER YET FLUID LEVEL IN EVERY CASE WAS OK. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING. SCAN CODE WAS C1185. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR USED IN OCTOBER OF 2012. IT HAD 114,000 MILES ON IT WELL FROM DAY ONE I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM. THE RPM, SPEED AND GAS ON THE DASH GO CRAZY. IT SAYS I AM DOING 20 MPH WHEN I KNOW I AM GOING FASTER THAN THAT. THE RPM WILL GO AND UP AND DOWN. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TRAC OFF LIGHT CAME ON. I TAPPED THE BREAK AND IT WENT AWAY. 5 MILES LATER I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING. COULD NOT GO REVERSE OR IN DRIVE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION YET I HAD NO SIGNS THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THE OTHER ISSUES WERE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND WOULD COST ME ANY WHERE FROM $700.00-1500.00 PLUS UP TO $2500.00 TO...

MY ABS/BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. LEAN CODES P0171 AND P0174 ARE SHOWING. ALSO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, MAINLY LOCKS HAVE BECOME INCONSISTENT. WHEN USING REMOTE TO OPEN LOCKS, SOMETIMES A DOOR LOCK WILL NOT OPEN ON DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO, INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES DON'T SHUT OFF WHEN SUPPOSED TOO. *TR

ABS LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF AND THE CAR WILL NOT TAKE ANY GAS. *TR

AFTER GOING ABOUT 4 MILES AFTER STARTING UP VAN, ABS LIGHT COMES ON, OCCASIONALLY THE RED BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON TOO, SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY (UP AND DOWN) AND INSIDE LIGHTS FLICKER AT RANDOM. SEEMS TO BE SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND/OR BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. LAST MONTH THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW IT WON'T GO OFF EITHER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, LEADING TO A POTENTIAL FIRE. *TR

THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON OCCASIONALLY. WHEN IT COMES ON, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS REDUCED POWER. THIS IS CONFIRMED BY THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING, WIPERS MOVING AT SLOWER SPEED. IF I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTART, THE BATTERY LIGHT GOES OFF AND EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. IF I DON'T TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WILL DIE IN A SHORT TIME. *TR

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL INITIATED BY FORD FOR CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE - 2003 FORD WINDSTAR STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V030000. FORD REPAIRED THE LEFT SIDE ONLY, LEAVING THE RIGHT SIDE RUSTED AND NOW SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT RUST HOLES HAVE APPEARED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. FORD DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY SAYING THAT THEY MADE THE REPAIR PROPERLY BUT I CLAIM THEY MADE THE REPAIR INADEQUATELY. BAD METAL IS BAD METAL AND REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THE HOLES WERE DISCOVERED OVER A YEAR LATER IS INAPPLICABLE AS GOOD METAL DOES NOT RUST THROUGH TO THE POINT OF CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE ENGINE CRADLE FAILS, THE ENGINE WILL FALL FROM THE VEHICLE, POTENTIALLY WHILE MOVING. GAS WILL SPEW ACROSS THE ROAD AND A FIREBALL WILL IGNITE. OTHER DRIVERS WILL EITHER HIT THE ENGINE, SWERVE TO MISS IT AND HIT OTHER VEHICLES, AND/OR GET CAUGHT IN THE...

THE ABS, TRACTION, AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

ABS CONTROL MODULE IS BAD. *TR

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE WING DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY, RADIO CHANGES STATIONS ON ITS OWN, ENGINE SERGE WHEN IN IDEAL, INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELVES, NOISE IN REAR WHEN IN REVERSE. *TR

THE RUBBER ON THE WIRES GOING TO THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX RUBBED OFF AND MELTED SHORTING OUT EVERYTHING. CASED THE SPEEDOMETER TO GO OUT TACHOMETER TO STOP WORKING ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON AND OVERDRIVE LIGHT BLINKS. MAY HAVE COT ON FIRE FOR A MIN I SMELLED SMOKE BUT WENT OUT ON ITS OWN. *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTS WENT ON AND WERE FLASHING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

ABS LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY DESPITE REPAIRS. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, COMPUTER, CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO GO ON AND OFF. THE ELECTRIC WINDOW TO SOMETIMES NOT WORK, THE ABS LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OFF. *TR

LIGHTS TURN ON AND OF INSIDE THE CAR. THE ABS LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ON AND OFF. WINDOWS STOP WORKING GET STUCK. *TR

ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON. HAVE NEW BRAKES. INTERIOR LIGHTS KEEP FLASHING ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE HAD BATTERY TESTED. *TR

MY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ITEMS DONE TO FIX PROBLEM INCLUDING TUNE UP, CLEANING OF CONTACTS. I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE ABS CIRCUIT CONTROLLER MAY BE BAD. THIS IS A $1,500 JOB THAT JUST MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT ABOUT $600. JUDGING FROM THE HITS I GET ON THE INTERNET THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *TR

WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH COME ON AND GO OFF, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON, CRUISE CONTROL DON'T WORK EVERY TIME. *TR

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF. AND BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR KEEPS GOING BAD. *TR

FIRST OF ALL THERE IS A SHORT LOCATED BY THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND THE AIR BAG. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO I CHANGED IT AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER MY VAN WOULD NOT START. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, SO I TOOK IT TO AN OLD MAN THAT JUST DID ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ON AUTOMOBILES. HE SAID IT WAS A BAD WIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND HE SAID TO REPAIR IT WOULD COST A LOT OF MONEY, SO HE BYPASSED SOME WIRES AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE, BUT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR CHIMES, LIKE WHEN YOU LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. HE ONLY CHARGED ME $75. ALSO I WOULD BE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME....

MY INSTRUMENT PANEL KEEPS GOING CRAZY. THE RPM NEEDLE IS NOW POINTING DOWN INTO THE DASH. THE SPEEDOMETER USUALLY IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, IT WILL SAY THAT I AM DOING 20 MPH, WHEN I AM DOING MORE LIKE 45-50. THE GAS GAUGE SOMETIMES SAYS THAT IT IS ON EMPTY, WHEN I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. SOMETIMES THE NEEDLES WORK, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RPM NEEDLE...IT HASN'T MOVED FROM THAT BURIED IN THE DASH SPOT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW), SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND THEN GETS BURIED IN THE DASH ALSO, SO FAR THOUGH, EACH TIME, IT HAS CAME BACK...EVEN THOUGH IT RARELY REGISTERS EVEN CLOSE TO THE CORRECT SPEED. THE REPAIR FOR THIS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT $700 IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, AND I AM...
