Five problems related to seats have been reported for the 1999 Ford Windstar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After purchasing van, not even one month later all lights started to turn on engine, abs now n and its a rear light on guage panel also we are in the middle of trying to get decent price for the freeze plug withch also needs to be replaced because there is a leak of coolant from the bottom of van. Other wise its ok to drive. One I thing I didn't mention is the seat its struck it wont move back or forward with the electrical button.
A sharp piece of metal was protruding from the driver seat back (left side at hip level).
There is a sharp metal piece that sticks out of driver's seat, cutting consumer when entering and exiting vehicle. Dealer notified.
Drivers side seat has a piece of metal that has pierced through the seat. Took vehicle to dealer, and they stated part was no longer available, and seat would be patched up. Metal is dangerous and tears clothes up. Please provide any further information.
The vehicle was rear ended and driver's seat failed. It fell completely back on the middle row seat. Usually my youngest child (baby at the time) would have been (in her child seat) in the middle row and I'm sure she would have been killed if she had been in the van that day.
