1995 Ford WINDSTAR Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	161646
Internal NHTSA #	700107

Brand	FORD
Model	WINDSTAR
Model Year	1995
File date	23/10/98
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After bringing the vehicle to a complete stop transmission seemed to shift into neutral because when i take my feet off the brake and pressed on the accelerator, engine just revved and the van did not move. Then suddenly the transmission engaged, and the van jumped forward dangerously and accelerated. This vehicle was bought from di blasi ford, 112-21 northern blvd., corona, ny 11368 (tel: 718-898-6100). Montclair-bloomfield motors is the dealer closest to me and has inspected the vehicle. Both dealer & the manufacturer claimed that this was an unusual problem, and that i had to pay $2,000 for the repair because i am past the 3 year standard warranty (although i am under 36,000 miles). Again ford claimed this was an unusual occurrence and not a defect. But if anyone should research the various internet sites, it would become apparent that windstar 1995-6 owners have been complaiming about this transmission problem for sometime. Owners had their transmission replaced as many as three times for vehicle with less than 60,000 miles. Also majority of these owners felt that ford was aware of this problem, but refused to advise the public, and was putting profits ahead of their customers life. After being subject to this life threatening situation, i felt compelled to report this miscarriage of justice, hoping it could save life and property. In closing, i beg your involvement to cure this problem for the sake for public safety. I have three kids 7,5 & 2 and practically all other windstar owners have little kids, so please help us save lives. Thank in anticipation for your help. *ak
