| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Electrical problems galore--i'll never buy another ford, period--let alone a windstar. tailgate lock never opened with key. driver side door stopped opening with key 6 months later. passenger side door stopped opening with key 3 weeks after that. down to slider only that operates with key and it turns very hard. interior lights came on....and stayed on. removed fuse and windows sharing fuse also wouldn't go up--was worth it til i had time to go around and remove every single interior bulb in the vehicle. replaced fuse just to have windows operate. door ajar sensor goes off when all doors are closed securely and accompanying warning bell continues to go off while i'm driving down the road. then it drops to going off when i slow to a certain speed and then shut off again when i speed up. absolutely the worst vehicle i've ever owned in my life. pos -- does not mean point of sale. hint: first word means "piece" and second word means "of." you get the idea. *nm |
