![]() I have 3 kids and am terrified for our safety everytime we are in this vehicle. Sometimes they come on and off but if they remain on cause the car to hesitate or just quit on you. Problem with abs and brake light coming on at randoms times in addition tp the checl charging system light. Sometimes remaining on once the vehicle is off and all doors are completely closed. Thinking this issue may have to do with the fact that the interior lights go on and off at random unexplained times. ![]() We will start with the constant draining and replacement of the battery. Where to start? almost seem like to many problems to list. So sad, because I have been a Ford guy for over 35 years. They are good for the first couple of years, then they start failing. Bottom line, I will never buy another Ford vehicle while I am alive. I also had the fuel pump replaced, because it kept shutting off while at the grocery stores and had it towed by aaa 3 times in about a year. I took it to pep boys and they found out what was wrong with it. It was idling very rough while stopped at a light, also when in parked. I have had also the head gasket replaced because the Ford dealer could not find what was wrong with it while it was still under warranty. Also the abs warning lights have been on for a while and my mechanic said it is a bad abs steering box. Also I would be driving and the interior lights would turn on and off by themselves. 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. 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. I thought it was the battery so I changed it and a couple of days later my van would not start. This van has left me and my children stranded on the side of the road in the country and I will not put up with it any more!!!!!!!.įirst of all there is a short located by the steering wheel around the air bag. This van is a nightmare of electrical problems that need to be addressed by Ford ASAP. This van has had been to the local dealership and cost me well over 400 dollars to replace an already brand new altenator and new battery which cost over 80 bucks, plus the two hundred dollars for the first altenaotr and another 100 for the first battery. The doors do not lock or or unlock when I need them too, which has become a hazard, becuase I can't leave anything in my van for fear of it being stolen. The doors never close properly and and my liftgate ajarsignalis always on. I now have to keep and eye on my milage to know how much fuel I have. My gas gauge is always wrong I fill up on gas and it stays full one day and the next it's almost empty. ![]() When I drive this van the spedometer is not correct, I think I am doing a certain speed but when compared to other vehicles it is clearly not the speed intended. I have had all the nessecary recalls taken care on it. I use my van to transport my family and do not feel safe on this van. ![]() People on line are complaing about the problems and their vans failing because of fualty electrical. The electical systems need to be recalled on these vans. I now have no way of knowing how fast I am going or how much gas is in my tank. I have replaced 2 batteries and two altenators, and the problems still have not been fixed. I have a 2003 Ford Windstar se model that has cost well over a thousand dollars in repair.
