This is the 5th time that this engine problem has occurred, and each time it stays in the shop 12 days and out 26 days. Dealer does not seem to be able to correct problem and is very rude when vehicle is taken in says this is nothing.
2001 Ford Windstar engine complaints

I have repeatedly contacted my dealer for the problems that exist with my vehicle. The brakes fail after prolonged pressure at red lights. I was told to set my parking brakes to adjust. I had two large bumps on the steering wheel. I was told that it was a broken bearing and they replaced my steering wheel and fixed the broken bearing. The new wheel has the exact same bumps. I was told not to worry about it. The air conditioner was making grinding sounds. The compressor was replaced. The enige has a ticking noise when vehicle is in gear but stopped with brake. I was tols this is the injectors and nothing was wrong. The van stalls at any speed for no reason after long periods of driving. I was told it was my alternator. I have had my van not long and already have a rebuilt new van. I went to the dealer and drove another van. None of the above problems were seen. I was told there is nothing that I could do but to trade in and pay mega bucks for another one. My van has been in the shop for 9 days the first time and 15 days the second time. I feel I have been wronged by the ford motor company and I should be given a vehicle that I can drive and feel safe in. I feel that the vehicle has more problems then the 1980 aerostar that I replaced with this one. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to solve this problem. If there is nothing, then please warn others from the problems that I have encurred.
While stopping vehicle stalled and died without warning. Dealer was inspecting vehicle . Please provide further information.
Reoccurring engine light coming on after vechicle in for first courtesy service. Dealership cannot determine exact problem. So far have replaced fuel pump assembly, pressure transducer and asbly fuel vapor control. No success. Reported problem to manufacturer and awaiting a desicion from regional engineer for a possible vehicle exchange.
The tail pipe sticks out very far and has very sharp points on it. Son punctured his left knee on one of the points. It dug into his knee and left a gapping hole which needed stitches. Tail pipe sticks out too far and the end should be even all around.
Vehicle had an oil leak, and engine compartment was smoking. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and they replaced campshaft at 48 miles. Please provide any further infomation.
