2000 Ford Ford Truck

2000 FORD WINDSTAR SEL -THE ACTIVE CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON SLIGHT BUMPS OR ROUGH ON HIGHWAYS-GOES OFF, BUT RECENTLY AFTER THE REAR AXLE RECALL AND CHECK OF BY DEALERSHIP ON OCT 4, 2010, OUR CAR HAS ON MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR TIMES WENT INTO THE ACTION CONTROL MODE WHEN THE LIGHT ON DASH WENT ON --AND THIS AT HIGH INTERSTATE OR PARKWAY SPEEDS OF 65 MPH, AND ON DRY SURFACES---IT HAS , I GUESS, BECAUSE OF DRY-NON SLIP CONDITIONS CAUSED DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ON SECONDARY SLOWER SPEED HIGHWAYS ONLY THE LIGHT HAS GONE ON --NO REAL NOTICE OF ENGAGING OF ACTIVE CONTROL ACTION, SO TO SPEAK. WE HAVE REPORTED ALL THIS TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS. ALSO TAKE NOTE THAT AT AROUND 10-19-09 WHEN CAR AT 112,468 MILES OUR DEALERSHIP REPLACED A REAR RIGHT SPEED SENSOR AT PRICE OF $149.19 --ON THAT OCCASION FOR THE REPORT BY US OF ACTIVE CONTROL LIGHT GOING ON AND STAYING ON. THAT WAS NOT AS NOW -AS THE VEHICLE NEVER WENT INTO THE ACTIVE CONTROL ACTION THAT DOING NOW AT AROUND THE MILES OF 114,980. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND ALL SERVICE RECORDS KEPT-FIRST BY THE OWNER I PURCHASED FROM AND NOW BY US ON OUR HOME PAGE FORD SERVICE RECORDS ACCOUNT. *TR

PURCHASED A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR LAST WEEK OF JANUARY 2004 FOR THE PRICE OF 13900.00. THE VAN WAS STORED OUT BACK FOR A WHILE, AND WAS UNDER 30,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER NEVER GOT IT INSPECTED UNTIL TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED AND PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. BY JULY 2004, OUR VAN WAS IN THE SHOP REGARDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THEY HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. UPON PICKING IT UP, THEY LEFT ME NO WORK ORDER THAT WAS DONE AND CLAIMED THEY PUT IN 4,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK (VERBALLY). I THEREFORE CONTACTED A LAWYER. BY DECEMBER 2004, CHRISTMAS EVE DAY, MY TRANNY BLEW. IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD AND YET THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING FINE. IT WOULD ONLY REVERSE. TWO AUTO TECH'S CAME TO MY RESCUE AND SAID IT NEEDS TO BE FULLY REPLACED. I HAD THE VAN TOWED AFTER THE HOLIDAYS (EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED FOR THE FOUR DAY WEEKEND). SO ON MONDAY UPON MY ARRIVAL, THE COMPANY DIDN'T WANT TO PUT IN FOR THE REPAIRS WITHOUT MY PAYING. I TOLD THEM IN SIX SHORT MONTHS SINCE JULY THE TRANNY IS GONE? FIRST REPAIR WAS AT 45 THOUSAND MILES AND THE NEXT WAS AT 60 THOUSAND MILES. I AM NOW HAVING MORE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THEY ONLY REPAIRED IT, NEVER REPLACED IT. FOR THE PRICE I PAY FOR MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND THE INSURANCE AND ALL, I DON'T THINK FORD IS BEING HONEST ABOUT THEIR CARS AND FORD DEALERS ARE LOUSY TOWARDS THEIR CUSTOMERS. I FEEL VERY RIPPED OFF. ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY REFUNDED (ALL THAT I PAID IN PAYMENTS INCLUDING INSURANCE AND REPAIRS IF ANY) SO I CAN GO AND FIND MYSELF A "SAFE" RELIABLE CAR. *JB
