Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle is a ford windstar limited 2003 minivan. the advance trac system came on during normal operation and on dry payment and under normal circumstances. the vehicle was not spinning and i was driving about 25 mph. the vehicle pulled to the left into the oncoming traffic and then slowed to a stop on its own. there was a terrible noise as if the front suspension was being torn apart. i drove the vehicle to the side of the road and turned off the advance trac system. after testing the transmission and i proceeded to my destination. when i was a few hundred feet from my home i turned the advance trac system back on and it repeated the same scenario. i then parked the vehicle in my driveway and call a towed truck for delivery to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle. *jb
