My Mini van lights would flicker while I'm driving and even after replacing the starter in the car, it still turns off while I'm driving. There's rust coming from under the car, I smell a burnt smell when I'm driving. I'm having electrical issues, my car stops when it wants to in the middle of the highway, . . It makes noises when I'm turning, I have rust coming from under my car. The signal lights flicker. While driving the windshield washer, seat belt, and door ajar warning lights flash on and off. While this is happening the wiper blades stop working, front brake rotors is causing steering wheel to shimmy when the brakes are applied. Now when I turn my wheel to the left, it makes this loud nose. What is that?!.

We had our left rear tire blow out and it tore off our fuel filler pipe. I imagine this could be extreamly dangerous if the rim had sparked it could have caught fire.

Transmission started leeking fluids all over the road and started slipping to where I couldn't get home with it.

Purchased new in 2003. This vehicle has electrical problems and yet we are being told that we have to eat the financial bills instead of Ford. From sensors failing, to interior lights flashing at us, and the vehicle sputtering while we drive down the road. Ford knows that the 1999- 2003 Windstar have serious safety and electrical failures, yet they do not want to correct the problem at their cost. Ford would rather pass on their problems onto the consumer and at the consumer's cost. 2013 at our cost of $1,000. 00+ we replaced the coil assembly pack, egr system with brackets, oxygen sensors, spark plugs, and wires. Now we are replacing them again. The abs system, the traction control, and the cruise control all interwoven and all failed in 2009 and we were told that it is not important by the dealerships. We placed our obd scanner on our vehicle and this is what we pulled. P0302, p0305, p0316, c1235, c1185, c1198, c1194, c1254, c1246, c1250, c1242, c1214, c1210, c1103, c1410, c1404, b1318. We were told by many "service departments" a while back that these codes were not important. They cleared the codes every time. Their response to these codes were to clear them every time. Why are we having to replace the coil assembly packs, wires, egr system with brackets, oxygen sensors,and plugs so often, when we are being told that these platinum plugs and wires should last 150k? we honestly believe that Ford should have recalled this vehicle years ago. Ford should compensate us for our troubles, instead they increased our financial burden, and Ford should have placed us into a safer vehicle all at their cost. This is our only vehicle. When it fails, we have to pay thousands to get it repaired at our cost. Ford should take on the financial responsibility when they know that this vehicle has these issues. Major repairs= 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, and now 2015.

My abs/brake lights have been coming on while driving. Lean codes p0171 and p0174 are showing. Also electrical system, mainly locks have become inconsistent. When using remote to open locks, sometimes a door lock will not open on driver or passenger side. Also, interior lights sometimes don't shut off when supposed too.

1999 Ford Windstar, miles 84,000. Under norm driving conditions, r2 valve cover felled had a hole inside it along with gaskets in r2 platnium. I had to buy from Ford the gaskets set and r 2value cover and the bolts which are specially made buy them. One would believe that Ford did not have enough strength in the bolts to hold the platnium is place that allow the air leak to take place in the valve cover and platnium. I do not have the old parts on hand.

1996 Ford Windstar fwd auto pb ps pw ac, v-6. Vehicle auto accelerated when put into reverse. Brake loss due to lack of vacuum. Vehicle spun in a circle suddenly and hit another parked vehicle when backing out of a parked position.

Cel came on. . Blew 02 sensor code. Replaced. Few days later cel came back on now with p0171 and p0174 codes. This is a massive know problem from doing an internet search and also searching this site even under other Windstar years. This is a very costly expensive and seems to be quite involved and there needs to be a recall on this.

Check engine light came on and had dealer check car. Problem turned out to be intake gaskets/bolts/connectors. The vehicle had 61,128 miles. There is a technical service bulletin on this problem but Ford refused to repair the car since it is not under warranty. They are aware of this problem and according to one Ford dealer they complete about 5 of these jobs per week.

I have a concern over the defect of the head gasket of our 1996 Ford Windstar. This vehicle is our family vehicle - very neccessary for a family of young children - family of 7. So far, we have replaced the transmission, replaced the speedometer, and most recently have been told to replace the head gasket. I understand that the head gasket repair/ replacement is a rather expensive repair. I also understand that Ford has offered to some, to make good on this defect in workmanship. I have been advised to turn this in to the state's attorney here in north dakota, and to the better business bureau. I need this vehicle fixed. I don't care for the Ford dealership in jamestown, nd - since the last repair left me without a vehicle for a month. I would like this defect taken care of. I think Ford has made a safe van for my family, but I am very dissappointed with the quality of the parts under the hood - who would have thought that Ford would have such poor workmanship that I would have this much trouble with this 1996 vehicle. Please advise me on how to obtain the paperwork that will get this defect on the head gasket properly paid for and taken care of by Ford.

Gas gauge hasn't worked a while, and transmission failed a few days ago.
