   THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OF MY 1990 FORD WINDSTAR HAS FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. IT WAS RECALLED EARLY AFTER MANUFACTURE OF THE CAR AND REPLACED BY FORD, BUT THE REPLACEMENT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. INTERMITTENT IS DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO OPERATE EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF! (CAUSED A FIRE, HAD TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HERE) AND THAT WAS THE REPLACED MOTOR. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT SINCE IT WAS ALREADY "REPLACED" UNDER THE RECALL. BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN PAYING PRIVATELY AND THE SAME PROBLEM. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE MOTORS FORD IS USING ON THIS MODEL OR SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THIS CAR THAT MAKES THE WIPERS DO THIS. CURRENTLY, NO INTERMITTENTLY ON THE WIPERS AGAIN. (THIRD MOTOR) THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN DO. *TR

   HOW COME YOU DON'T LOWER THE SPEED LIMIT DOWN AT POMONA, MISSOURI? IT'S 45 IN BRANDSVILLE MISSOURI, AND IN KOSHKONG MISSOURI, WE HAVE YIELD SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES AND WE HAVE TO CROSS A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE BUT THE SPEED LIMIT IS STILL 65 MPH. DON'T UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A WRECK TODAY AND THREE PEOPLE WERE LOADED IN A AMBULANCE WHY DON'T YOU CARE? IF PEOPLE GET KILLED HERE I'VE SEEN OTHER WRECKS HERE ,.........DON'T UNDERSTAND TAMMY COLLINS

   THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE STARTING. WHEN DAMP OR COLD IT WONT START AT ALL. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ALWAYS SHORTS OUT, COSTING ME $17.35 EVERYTIME IT RAINS OR IS DAMP. THE TRUCK WILL FINALLY START AFTER DRYING OUT THEN THE TRANSMISION WHEN PUT IN DRIVE WILL NOT MOVE UNTILL THE TRUCK IS WARM.REPLACED THE TRANS. AND IT STILL IS A PROBLEM. THE STARTER RELAY WENT BAD LAST WEEK COSTING ME 217 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN NUETRAL AT STOP LIGHTS AND REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING..ITS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP TO MANY TIMES TO RECALL AND THEY JUST GAVE UP AS DID I . I HAD TO TAKE IT TO ACADEMY FORD IN LAUREL, MD BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY FORD DEALER FOR MILES THAT COULD GET IT IN THEIR SHOP.. THIS TRUCK HASNT RUN RIGHT FROM DAY ONE AND HAS HAD WAY TO MANY PROBLEMS TO LIST. IT ALSO HAS COST ME AN ARM AND LEG TO TRY AND KEEP IT RUNNING. PEOPLE IN THE SAME BUSINESS AS I AM BOUGHT THE SAME TRUCK ON THE SAME DAY AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS TRUCK IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LEMON AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN THANKS
