Problems with 2003 Ford Windstar SEAT BELTS

After looking up all of the service reports on this vehicle, i am beginning to recognize that ford has some explaining to do. we have a large amount of service reports on our vehicle alone that our dealership is not reporting. we have paid more for service repairs than we did paying for the vehicle. our ac/heat just clicks w/o working, power windows front and rear do not work, power door locks, leaking roofs, leaking doors, abs lights on, engine lights on, traction control light on, engine sputters even after two complete old fashioned tune-ups, cowl broken, front and rear axles severely cracked, sub-frame cracked, rear wiper does not work properly, brakes need constant repairs, electrical shorts everywhere, head lights, fog lights, brake lights all need constant replacements, alternator was replaced 6 times in one day because they were all faulty, brake switch under brake pedal needs constant replacement, constant wheel alignments, wheel sensors missing or broken, power seat broke and the dealership told us that it was petty to have it fixed even with a height difference between drivers, control modules replaced, multiple expensive sensor failures, spark plugs with wires replaced at least twice, starter replaced, parking brake needs to be watched for slippage because it can't hold on hills, interior lights blink in a pattern while driving, can't haul it's own tailgate, battery replaced multiple times by dealership, power mirror switch broke, many more expensive repairs have been done at our cost, p0302, p0305, p0316, c1235, c1185, c1198, c1194, c1254, c1246, c1250, c1242, c1214, c1210, c1103, c1410, c1404, b1318. we were told by many service departments a while back that these codes were not important. they cleared the codes every time. their response to these codes were to clear them every single time. we only have one vehicle and this is it. i am a mom w/children. *tr

I'm having problems with a 2003 ford windstar van i purchased. the mileage is 081206.3. the abs and brake lights are on and the sliding doors on both the driver and passenger will not open from the inside of the van. the doors on the sides and back are very hard to open from the outside as well. the cruise control will not turn off unless you hit the brakes. the seatbelt are making a horrible squeaking noise and don't really roll up right. i'd like to find out how to get a list of recalls for this vehicle. to me these are major safety concerns that need to be addressed. thank you *tr

Driving east bound at 35 mph when a vehicle turned in front of me and i had a direct hit on the right side of his vehicle. i hit the steering wheel with my chest. the seat belt did not hold me back and neither air bag deployed. *tr

I believe the seat belts in my ford windstar do not retract properly. i believe this to be a defect with the van and ford will not look into the issue without charging me a fee. there was a seat belt recall in the past on some ford windstars but ford claims it does not affect this model. this issue affects primarily the middle and rear row of my van and possibly the front seats as well. *tr

When starting car airbag light cont' on. cont' problem pretention retractor replaced-working. no old parts returned to me. *tr

Tl*- the contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side front seat belts would not retract. the contact took vehicle to the dealer, who told her that the vehicle was no longer covered under warranty. the contact called the manufacturer, who advised the consumer that she would have to pay for the vehicle diagnosis to see if the manufacturer would cover the cost of the repair. *ak updated 2/9/2007 - *nm

Consumer complained about two. first, the transmission will not shift properly when changing gears. this condition almost caused a rear end collision. secondly, driver's side seat belt will not latch if any type of debris got inside of the buckle opening, leaving the driver without any restraint if the vehicle got involved in an accident. *ak
