What owners wrote
For quite some time I felt that my left directional signal was going on all by itself after making a right turn. I not only confirmed this to be true but can make it happen after every right turn. After the steering wheel begins to turn to go straight after making a right turn, a gentle push to the left will cause the directional signal to signal left all by itself. I have an appointment with the dealer for this and many other strange things which have infected this van!
2001 ford windstar, ABS light and brake light constantly coming on. Mechanic says there are over 11 codes showing up. This is the third time I've attempted to have this problem fixed, nobody can fix it, just keeps happening. I've heard about fires occurring and am worried about the safety of my family.
