On may 24 while backing out of the driveway I was a passenger in my sons car when it suddenly accelerated at a tremendous rate of speed and with a loud noise and crashed into the vehicle in front, which was pushed into our shed. I sustained injuries of 6 broken ribs, bruised lung and contusions to my chest. If not for the car and shed in front we would have ended at the bottom of the hill behind our home. The insurance company, 21st century, did not send a claim form and is fighting paying for this accident.

My wife call the dealer and the dealer said that there is no recall for our windstar VIN number and they can quote for the repair. Failure millage aprox. 133,251 and the windstar was stationary.

Yellow ABS light and red brake light come on daily. Yellow air bag light comes on weekly. Took to ford dealer 10/1/11, found codes c1185, 1198, 1194, 1254, 1246, 1250, 1248, 1214, 1210, b1869, b1470, u1262, b1676, b1246. Internal module failure, recommend replacing ecu (verbally quoted $1,000 over the phone). If red brake light comes on, I think it's the ABS module, but if something is really wrong, this could create an 'unsafe' vehicle on the road.
