1995 ford windstar - sliding door top forward bracket attach point. 1) the metal around the attach point on the door shows stress cracks on all four sides and the metal under the paint is buckling. The location of the bracket below the door seal may allow rain to pool up on the bracket support and cause the supporting metal to rust and separate from the vehicle. 2) door is rattling and is in danger of falling off. Vehicle. 3) I am currently investigating the availability of a new door or welding a support plate on the existing door.

1995 ford windstar. Upper layer of hood flew off while driving on southern state parkway near exit 13. Called ford and all they told me is that my vehicle is out of warranty. I don't care about warranty. I care about feeling lucky I'm not dead or kill anyone driving behind me. This must have happened or will happen again and someone will get killed. On sept. 11 2001 (strangely enough) I lost my brakes on the same vehicle. I called ford and they gave me the warranty routine. Sure enough they recalled the vehicle soon after for the exact problem that I reported. In fact they paid to fix the problem. Please look into this before somebody is dead due to a flying hood. Thank you.

Before freedom ford replaced our engine, we were having electrical problems which we reported and they could not find the problem to why the door chimes and door adjar lights would stay on, our engine assembly was relaced on 09/27/2001. Then our battery light came on while driving and the lights in the car started dimming, we replaced our battery and found out from ford that our alternator was bad. We had to pay 387.51 for an alternator.! Not to mention the 1800+ in emergency expenses we had to pay that ford refuse to pay us back when our engine blew while driving home on a vacation. However they did replaced the engine free of charge after long negotiation by my wife. We are still having problems with our door chimes and lights and ford said on 02/14/2002 they could not check to see what's wrong unless it comes on and to bring it in when the light comes on. Figure the odds on that, I live about 20-25 minutes away from there and the light may go out before I get there. Also, we have had numerous times when the front mirror on the inside came off while my husband was driving. I mean literally fell off. These ford windstars are not safe to be on the road and there really needs to be a recall on these vans or ford should be ordered to give the owners a prorated refund or set amt. Back for all our problems and financial sufferings we have been through. I pray that the federal safety agency issues a recall or order ford to take the 1995 windstars off the street and issue us a prorated refund. These windstars are not safe.imagine your engine blowing on a busy highway with your family in the van. This is what happened to me.e-mail me with the ansers to my questions.. Will the federal safety agency be issuing a recall or ford a prorated refund on these ford windstars soon? I still owe on this ford, but we do not feel safe driving it anymore, but it is all we have. How can we get rid of the windstar and the loan payments and buy something else? I pray that you will help us owners of windstars. Thanks.

When I attempted to open the passenger side sliding door, it fell right off. The back end of the door fell right to the ground. The car has not been in an accident of any kind. Very dangerous as it almost took my foot off.
