What owners wrote

This vehicle I received numerous recalls and had many problems with this vehicle. Major electrical problems. When it would rain and get car wash the electrical system would malfunction and cause engine not to run properly and check engine light would come on. In april of 2016 engine was malfunctioning and caused me to get in accident. This vehicle has since been impounded and loan company santander trying to bill me for remainder of loan and now causing major credit issues.

The part of the frame that holds my front passenger steering and wheel assembly in place has failed. My mechanic said it's the exact same problem that they recalled ford windstar vans for - but since my vehicle is a ford freestar van there's no recall? My van is now undrivable!
