My abs brake light, emergency brake light and brake light would intermittently go off. Then it was every time my car was started. I was told my abs module needed to be replaced. My car could be driven, but my abs brakes would not work. I was told by two mechanics that this was a problem they had seen with my vehicle. My cruise control also sticks. I have not used my cruise in over a year, because once activated, you can not shut it off. The only way it resets is to turn the car off. The Ford Windstar is one of the only Ford vehicles not covered under the recall, but upon doing a web search have found that Windstars have started on fire because of this issue. Also, I received a recall on my mid/read seat latches. When I went to the dealer, I was told my car was not covered. I drive a 2002 Ford Windstar. I am very concerned about the recent recall since the brake line is directly related to the fires caused by the faulty cruise control. Please advise is the research is to include other Ford models.

I have been reading about recent complaints to the Ford Windstar 2002 and have concerns. I had my abs module replaced last year because all my idiot brake lights were going off intermittently. I have also not used my cruise control in over two years because once activated it will not shut off until the car is turned off. It appears that the brakes are related to the cruise control leaking on the brake line, but Ford does not see the Windstar as a problem. This concerns me, since there have been fires with the Windstar van. I also took my car into a Ford dealership to check the seat latches and was told my car was not covered. My recent repair woes is the air conditioner compressor is going. This was a problem with my last Ford Windstar. (related vehicle information: model year=2002, make=Ford, model=windstar).

The contact stated when vehicle was involved in an accident the second row driver's side seat became dislodged. The contact sustained a sprained back. There was a child safety seat in the second row seat, but because it was rear facing the child was not injured. A police report taken at the scene. There was NHTSA recall 03v459000, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN.

Re:recall #03c05 I have twice in the past two years attempted to have fmc address this recall, both times I was told they didn't have the part and would call me when it came in ---no call - dealer #2 told me to bring the car in today and when I arrived told me they didn't have the part. After two years and two tries fmc can't or won't fix my car.

Consumer feels that the anchors in the rear middle seat for the latch system is causing the css harness strap plate to bend when removing the css because the plate only bends in this vehicle.

Driverside seat replaced for the second time. Both seat back and seat cushion failed. This is unacceptable! I am a large man 325 lbs. And I owned a 1998 Windstar which I did not have this issue in the years that I owned it. This seat and vehicle is a piece of junk. I don't understand how a seat on a 2003 Windstar could fail stucturally twice in such a short time. I purchase this van in Nov of 2003. I have had problems with this seat starting two weeks after purchase and for is unwilling to do correct the problems. They make repairs but the don't hold up and correct the problem once and for all. A new vehicle is a new vehicle if I wanted problems I could have purchased a used vehicle and then this would be somewhat acceptable.

I fractured my tail bone when sitting down on the middle seat on the passenger side of a 2002 Ford Windstar Mini-van. It has an exposed sharp metal bracket that attaches the seat belt shoulder strap to the seat.

Middle passenger side seat back reclined forward with so much force that the seat hinge connector almost severed consumer hands. The consumer received stitches. The consumer was cleaning the vehicle and pressed the seat latch. When the latch released the seat it came forward with such force that the seat hinge connector almost severed her finger. The consumer had to get 5 stitches in her left index finger. The consumer currently has no feeling in that finger.

Consumer is unable to put child in rear middle seat. Ts.

2002 Ford Windstar struck broadside by a old ciera on right side. Right side of car was lifted up, then car came back down. Either collision or near-overturning popped the left center seat (captain style seat) loose from floor. Injuries in crash were not related to seat failure. Seat was not occupied.

Seat will not return after 'dump-slide' is used. A lever acutates the seat back to tilt forward and the seat slides forward to let in rear seat passengers on drivers side (no sliding door on drivers side). Seat will not return and slides back and forth when accerating/braking.
