Door problems of the 2002 Ford Windstar

The rear door on the drivers side for more that a week now opens on it's own while I am driving along the highway. For more than two years the door have been a problem due to the fact that either of them will close on the first attempt when the automatic button to close them is used. 3 times in 2 weeks, car has stalled while driving at 25 miles per hour.

Rear sliding passenger doors fail to close when using auto close feature. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership and each time the doors are serviced. Shortly after being serviced the door stop latching closed again. The door slide harder on the vehicle equipped with the auto close feature so some operators will use the auto feature and then latch the door by manually pushing on it. Miscommunication has lead to driving with the door not latched. When driving with door unlatched the power locks, and interior lights may cycle on and off causing a distraction to the driver and increase risk of accident.

Power sliding doors open while driving down the road. Power doors do not release when person is in the way. Power doors do not close and operate to specifications. Vechicle has been serviced by extreme Ford in overland park, KS numerous times. There continues to be issues surrounding this problem. Power doors have also chipped rear glass Ford has replaced glass once already. *.

1) we were driving home from tulas,ok after the thanksgiving day holiday on Saturday afternoon. Pulled into our driveway. Opened the power doors. ) the right side power door trapped my daughters right leg when it was opening and did not sense there was resistance. The door broke her femur.

While traveling on the highway and without prior warning side doors will open and close intermittently.

Sliding door sensor doesn't respond quickly enough when objects are in the way to avoid closing. Consumer's arm was bruised due to getting caught as door was closing. Dealer was notified. *akconsumer is concerned for the safety of her grandchildren. The dealer did not seemed interested in the problem consumer presented to him, stating that is the way they are supposed to be.

Both power sliding doors will not retract while being closed if an object is in the doorway. Consumer is concerned young child might get caught in the door. *akconsumer also stated that the manufacturer felt that there was not a way to adjust the sensitivity of the doors. Consumer said that he physically had a chance to test a Chrysler Mini vans slide door sensitivity and it retracted much easier.

Power sliding doors have sensors to retract upon sensiing object, doors due not retract timely, pressure is felt on a adult arm,wrist, child, infant could be crushed. Tested various other Ford Windstars and all sliding doors had different sensing, some were weak and some were tight, not two the same. If a adult cannot push the door or stop the forward motion, then a child would not stand a chance.

The power sliding doors do not reverse direction when they encounter resistance. My 2 year old son placed his hand in the opening and it was almost crushed. If I hadn't been standing directly behind him and could pull extremely hard to get the door to reverse directions I feel he probably would have suffered severe injury to his hand. Dt.

Back doors will not open sometimes, and will not close sometimes. Consumer was informed to call dealership periodically, because the manufacturer was working on a solution, however it has been 8 months and there is still no remedy.
