I WAS DRIVING MY VAN DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT THIRTY FIVE. HEARD A LOUD THUNK AND REALIZED I WAS NOT ACCELERATING ANYMORE. THE VAN STOPPED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER. CALLED A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER EVALUATING THE DAMAGE WE REALIZED THAT THE FRAME HAD BROKEN WHERE THE WHEEL STABILIZER ARM MOUNTS TO THE FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO MY PASSENGER DRIVE SHAFT PULLED OUT FROM THE TRANSMISSION. SO IN THIS REPAIR IT IS GOING TO TAKE A SUB FRAME. AND THE HALF SHAFTS FROM TRANSMISSION TO WHEEL.

IN SEPT. 2009 I PURCHASED A USED 2001 FORD WINDSTAR. THE DAY AFTER I GOT HOME THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR MY VAN. MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON SOMETIMES AND IT DRAINS MY BATTERY. THIS IS ALL SURROUNDING THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES. I HAVE REPLACED ROTORS, BRAKE SHOES, BRAKE PADS, AND MANY TRIPS TO MY MECHANIC. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT MY ISSUE AND THEY SAID IT ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND THEIR IS NO RECALL ON IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE MAKE FORD LOOK INTO THIS BRAKE ISSUE/ABS. *TR

PRODUCT RECALL MADE ON PERSONAL VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2011 ( NOTIFICATION SENT ) HOWEVER VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE HOOD AND ENGINE WAS SMOKING AND OVERHEATING ! I WAS INFORMED THEN THAT THE CAR COULD BE POTENTIAL DANGER AND COULD RELATE IN VEHICLE DETACHMENT. I TURNED CAR INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL APPEARS AND CAR CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE. *TR
