PURCHASED NEW IN 2003. THIS VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND YET WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO EAT THE FINANCIAL BILLS INSTEAD OF FORD. FROM SENSORS FAILING, TO INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHING AT US, AND THE VEHICLE SPUTTERING WHILE WE DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. FORD KNOWS THAT THE 1999- 2003 WINDSTAR HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL FAILURES, YET THEY DO NOT WANT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. FORD WOULD RATHER PASS ON THEIR PROBLEMS ONTO THE CONSUMER AND AT THE CONSUMER'S COST. 2013 AT OUR COST OF $1,000.00+ WE REPLACED THE COIL ASSEMBLY PACK, EGR SYSTEM WITH BRACKETS, OXYGEN SENSORS, SPARK PLUGS, AND WIRES. NOW WE ARE REPLACING THEM AGAIN. THE ABS SYSTEM, THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL ALL INTERWOVEN AND ALL FAILED IN 2009 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT BY THE DEALERSHIPS. WE PLACED OUR OBD SCANNER ON OUR VEHICLE...
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
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....
