2003 Ford Windstar Other / unspecified Problems

The rear axle on my vehicle snapped while I was driving causing me to lose control and leave the roadway. I contacted Ford who told me there was a recall for the rear axle of my vehicle and that I would have no out of pocket expenses for the repairs and the towing of the vehicle to the service center. After they set up the towing I received a message saying I had to pay $381 for the towing before they would dispatch the tow truck. I called Ford customer service and they told me that now they can't find in their notes where they told me towing was covered. After asking to speak with a supervisor and being told they're not going to transfer me because they know their supervisor can't do anything more then what they can do I was placed on hold for an hour just to be told they can't find it in their notes and then I was hung up on. I shouldn't have to pay almost $400 to have my vehicle that just had a catastrophic failure causing me to wreck towed for servic after I was lied to about the towing being covered

MY REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY, WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE AXLE BEAM REINFORCING FLANGE CRACKED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP LIGHT. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE REAR AXLE REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS, SO I TOOK MY VAN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN KNOX, INDIANA (BEST FORD). AFTER A FEW DAYS, THEY SAID THAT FORD WOULD NOT COVER THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE REAR AXLE. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, HOWEVER, I SEE ON THIS WEBSITE THAT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IS INCOMPLETE AND THAT FORD HAD AN ADDITIONAL RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

THE REAR AXLE BROKE, WHICH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR. THE RECALL ADDED SUPPORT BRACKETS TO THE REAR AXLE. MY VAN HAD THE SUPPORT BRACKETS INSTALLED. HOWEVER THE REAR AXLE BROKE DIRECTLY UNDER THE SUPPORT BRACKETS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS STILL OPEN AND TO HAVE IT TOWED. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE IT ISN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE THE BRACKETS WERE INSTALLED. NOW IT IS COSTING ME $900 TO GET IT FIXED WHEN FORD CLEARLY ADMITTED TO THE REAR AXLE PROBLEM.

HELLO I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 FORD WINDSTAR MINIVAN. I PURCHASED AROUND MARCH 2016 I WAS TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN THE REAR AXEL BROKE. I LOOKED UNDER AND IT LOOKS LIKE FORD PUT ENFORCEMENT BRACKETS ON IT BUT IT IS BROKE AT ONE OF THE BRACKETS . THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. 20 MINUTES LATER I WOULD'VE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY. ONE MAN HAS ALREADY LOST HIS LIFE FROM THE SAME THING WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE A LADY FROM FORD OFFERING TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION SHE HAS BECAUSE IT IS NOT RIGHT AND THERE IS THINGS SHE HAS THAT I CANNOT FIND. I LOOKED UP MY YEAR ON THE VEHICLE AND WHAT WAS WRONG AND REALIZED THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOT ONLY THAT THERE HAS BEEN THREE RECALLS SINCE 2010 FOR THE SAME THING. FORD PUT BRACKETS ON TO FIX THE FIRST PROBLEM INSTEAD OF JUST FIXING THE PROBLEM. THAT EXPLAINS MY BRACKETS. FORD REALIZED THE BRACKETS WASN'T WORKING SO IN 2015 OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM FOR 300 DOLLARS. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THERE FAULT. BUT THAT EXPIRED IN DEC 2015. I PURCHASED THE CAR AROUND FEBRUARY MARCH 2016. THE PROBLEM IS IF ITS HAPPENING WITH SO MANY WINDSTAR'S WHY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING INSTEAD OF PATCHING IT AND TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT. I'M SURE THE MANS FAMILY AND KIDS THAT LOST THERE LOVED ONES WISH THIS WOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF THE RIGHT WAY. I WAS ON THE PHONE ALL DAY THURSDAY WITH FORD THERE NOT OFFERING TO HELP AT ALL. THERE TELLING ME IT WILL BE OVER 1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. SO WE ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES SOMEONE COULD'VE DIED THANKFULLY WERE OKAY. WE HAVE NO VEHICLE THE STRESS OF GETTING KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WORK AND WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN PLUS 2 I HAVE TAKEN LEGAL CUSTODY OF FROM CHILDREN SERVICES THERE IS NO WAY I CAN PAY THAT. ALL BECAUSE FORD DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT RIGHT AND JUST REPLACE IT THE FIRST TIME AROUND. HOW DOES A SAFETY RECALL EVER EXPIRE.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN COMING ON MY DASH. THEY WILL GO OFF PERIODICALLY, AND THEN COME BACK ON. THE FIRST DATE THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 2010. I DRIVE A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO SHOP RIGHT AWAY AND WAS QUOTED OVER $1,000 TO FIX IT. I ASKED WHAT THE PART DOES AND WAS TOLD THAT IT MOSTLY CONTROLS THE ABS SYSTEM. I ASKED HIM WHAT I COULD DO IF I DID NOT FIX IT, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD AFFORD THAT. HE SUGGESTED TO PUMP MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING. THE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A FAST STOP. I HAVE BEEN HEARING THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS SAME MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS STARTING TO GET A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2003 WINDSTAR MINIVAN WHICH CONTINUED TO BECOME WORSE. I TOOK THE VAN INTO A REPUTABLE SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I WITNESSED THE INSPECTION AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT CORROSION CAUSED CRACKS IN THE AXEL AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AXEL BUT WHEN I CONTACTED FORD (BOTH A DEALER A FORD RECALL INFORMATION LINE) I WAS TOLD MY IT WAS NOT VALID FOR MY. THE RECALL WAS FOR ISSUED FOR STATES THAT USE SALT AND I WHEN I BOUGHT THE VAN I LIVED IN OHIO BUT MOVED TO MIAMI FLORIDA IN MIAMI 2007 ( NOW IN CENTRAL FL) NO ROAD SALT BUT STILL A SALT ENVIRONMENT. THERE REPAIR WAS $663.00 AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO ALL VANS THAT HAVE THIS TYPE OF RISK WITH A REFUND DUE FROM FORD. *TR

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND ABS WARNING LIGHT BOTH COME ON AND STAY ON, BEGINNING AT VARYING TIMES AFTER BEGINNING DRIVING. AFTER TESTING AT FORD DEALERSHIP, MIKE FITZPATRICK FORD IN NEWNAN, GA, DIAGNOSIS WAS ABS CONTROLLER FAILURE. CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TO REPLACE ABS CONTROL UNIT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OPERATED BY THE BRAKE PEDAL. CONTINUED TO OPERATE VEHICLE UNTIL JUNE 20, 2011 BECAUSE BRAKES AND BRAKE LIGHT WORKED AND THE COST WAS PROHIBITIVE. PART NUMBERS REPLACED WERE 2F2Z-2C219-BA CONTROL AND SW-6218 SWITCH. THE ABS CONTROL FAILURE AT 84,500 MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE INDICATES AN INADEQUATE RELIABILITY OF DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING QUALITY. *TR

I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN FORD WINDSTAR MODELS IN THE NORTHERN STATES DUE TO A DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE. I HAVE A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR VAN VIN: [XXX] WHICH WE PURCHASED USED IN JULY 2004. FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, THE VEHICLE CAME FROM OHIO. ON 12/28/10, I CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO RAN MY VIN THROUGH THEIR DATABASE AND I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $95 FOR THEIR SERVICE DEPT. TO CHECK MY REAR AXLE FOR THE DEFECT SINCE IT ISN'T UNDER THE RECALL. I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY VEHICLE IS OR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I SAW A ABC NEWS REPORT ON DEC. 20TH WHICH MAKES IT SOUND LIKE THE RECALL MAY BE EXTENDED TO CERTAIN VEHICLES. IF MY VEHICLE ORIGINATED IN OHIO, IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION. THANKS! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BRAKES ON 2003 WINDSTAR NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. AFTER CHANGING BRAKES AND BLEEDING LINES, ABS AND BRAKE LINE WOULD COME ON DURING DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY AND REMAIN ON. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD EITHER BE AT ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OR HAVE VERY LITTLE PEDAL (ALMOST TO FLOOR. CHANGED MASTER CYLINDER, REBLED THE LINES. STILL HAVING INTERMITTENT ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON (USUALLY ONCE A DAY AND CONTINUING TO REMAIN ON) CAR HAS ACCEPTABLE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. HAVE HAD CAR PUT ON AND SCANNED BY COMPUTER 3 TIMES...NO FAULTS SHOW. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS THE BRAKES HAVE REMAINED FINE FOR STOPPING, BUT WILL IT CONTINUE OR WILL I FIND MYSELF WITH SERIOUS ISSUES IN THE FUTURE??? *TR
