After purchasing van, not even one month later all lights started to turn on engine, ABS now n and its a rear light on gauge panel also we are in the middle of trying to get decent price for the freeze plug which also needs to be replaced because there is a leak of coolant from the bottom of van. Other wise its ok to drive. One I thing I didn't mention is the seat its struck it wont move back or forward with the electrical button.

While stopped at red light, our ford windstar was rear-ended by a ford focus estimated to be going 50-60mph. Both of us in the front seats suffered severe calf muscle injuries. We believe these were caused by the manual seat adjustment bar that runs the full width of the seat. We were both wearing seatbelts. An additional note: the driver's seatback broke on impact.*ak is there any history of leg trauma caused by seat hardware in rear-end collisions?

The vehicle was rear ended and driver's seat failed. It fell completely back on the middle row seat. Usually my youngest child (baby at the time) would have been (in her child seat) in the middle row and I'm sure she would have been killed if she had been in the van that day.

The major complaint, the driver's seat, has been reported to both ford motor company and the dealership - neither of whom has seen fit to acknowledge my existence on this planet. The seat will not adjust (lever apparently has a perpetual short) - which means I can't see comfortable over the steering wheel.

The power sliding doors will open with the remote or console control, but get stuck in the open position and will not close with the remote or console control, closing the doors manually is very difficult and they do not always close on the first or second try manually, the door can appear to be closed when closed manually, but the door is not secure and has slid open when driving, consumer states the door motor has been replaced and still does not work properly.
