What owners wrote
I had been having problems starting my 200 ford windstar se. On monday, jan. 8, 2007, I drove my van to get coffee, came home and parked it in the driveway. A few minutes later, I noticed smoke and flames. The car burned out, despite the efforts of our local fire dept.
My 2000 ford windstar will stall, while driving, without warning causing a loss of power to the engine, braking system and steering system in a 3800 pound vehicle. This is an intermittent problem, but repeats itself every 2 or 3 weeks or so. The last time it caused my wife to transverse into a stop sign controlled intersection in a populated residential area of los angeles county without brakes or steering. It has happened 15 times to myself and my wife and twice to south bay ford since approximately nov of 2004.
