Abs and brake light stay illuminated as soon as the van is turned on. The dome lights flicker on and off. I've taken the van to the dealer for the dome lights and they could not find anything wrong with the van, but told me that it is a very common complaint and it is likely the start of a total electrical failure on the vehicle.

I opened electronic sliding driver side door on my 1999 Ford Windstar van to load the car for a weekend trip. I kneeled in the door opening to position things in the back seat. Without warning the door began to shut on its own. Before I could jump out of the car, it had my calves stuck in the door. It did not automatically open as I was informed it should have when it hit my legs. My daughter was able to pull the door open and allow me to escape. My right calf was injured, though it did not break the skin, I have a large bruise from the doors impact approx. 2 inches high and 4 inches long. I took my car to the dealership (ted britt Ford in fairfax virginia) where I purchased my van and carry an extended warranty. They have had my car in for numerous repairs, all related to the doors malfunctioning or other electrical problems. This is the first time there was an injury due to the door failure. My car is currently still in the shop for this malfunction. **about the number of failures listed below: I am uncertain if I should indicate one failure which resulted in an injurry or the multiple failures of the doors opening, refusing to open, or refusing to close that proceeded this last incident. I wll indicate one failure, meaning this last one. Please call or email if I should indicate all the door failures we have incountered to date. **I am also a bit concerned as the repair department at ted britt Ford in fairfax, where my van is regularly serviced, indicated that he believes it would have been impossible for the door to shut without my having done something to cause it. I am absolutely certain I could not have accidentally close the door. I am concerned they may not check out this problem adequately and just decide it was operator error. I reminded them of the multiple other door failures and electrical problems. I also let them know the lights in the van (that come on when you open a door), go on and off when I go over bumps as I am driving.

Our 2003 Ford Windstar began experiencing intermittent electrical failures. On may 27, after driving normally, we stopped for about 30 minutes. Then the van stalled several times on a short trip. After another 10 minute stop, it operated normally again. Several times during the next week, although the car did not stall, the power to the steering and brakes went out. We had an appointment with our local Ford dealer to service the van on June 7. However, on June 6 the power systems failed, causing the car to crash into a road side mailbox. No personal injuries occured. Nothing was done to correct the failure. At our expense, Ford would have had someone look at the vehicle to see if they could determine the exact cause of the accident. We choose to deal with our insurance company instead. The car was totaled and repossessed by state farm insurance.
