“My 2002 Ford Windstar minivan driver sliding door wont open and door locks wont cross over at times cause safety issue for my child if there was a fire or something nobody could get out that door iv seen numerous issues on-line with other people about there door and door locks on there 2002 Windstar I hope someone will look in to this order a recall of the bad parts of the locks and latches.”

“The power sliding door on the drivers side of my 2002 Windstar sometimes will not stay closed unless I get out of the car and push on it. Also , it will not stop if an object is in the way and will open when the fueling door is open. I see many reports of this on the web sites. You shoiuld probably have someone investigate these incidents. Your other reports tend to blame the owners of the cars. The door does not close all the time. If you need someone competent to investigate these incidents give me a call.”

“Locks on all four pinch and it hurts. After the first time you can deal with it. After the fifth and sixth time it hurts. Also other people have gotten in the vehicle and have been pitched. Other Ford drivers say that they also have gotten pinched. Everyone knows that coffee is hot. Everyone knows that a hand in a door when the door is closing will hurt. It is not a known fact that a lock will pinch when you put your arm up to rest and accidentally lock the door with your arm or the automatic door lock kicks in. I just hope someone will fix this. I don't like this added feature to my van. …”

“While driving at any speed, intermittently the back right sliding door comes ajar. The problem has occurred on three occasions. The dealer has no idea what causes the problem. Currently, the consumer has a problem with the back/left side door closing securely. The door had been leaking since the vehicle was purchased. The door had a significant difference in space between the front door in comparison to the driver door. Also the cruise control was inoperative.”

“Door locks are activated and continuously active themselves, locks open and close and chimes for door ajar appears on instrumentation panel. Lights on the mirrors luminate due to car reconginizing symtom of open door, draining battery. This problem first occurred while on an 8 hour drive home from canada, was brought to Ford, they changed the front passengener sensor claiming car was fixed after 2 days in the shop. 5 days later while enroute to nc, the same problem arose, locks opening and shuttiing and car chimming constantly. Car was flatbedded to a Ford dealership in north carolina. …”
