While driving vehicle stalled intermittently. Vehicle was towed to the dealership, and dealership could not find any problem, and told consumer to come and pick up the vehicle. However, vehicle stalled while pulling out of the dealership. Then. Dealership indicated that the computer chip was bad and replaced it. Three week later, upon starting the vehicle, the engine turned over, and vehicle stalled. Vehicle is currently at the dealership. But, dealership could not identify what was causing the vehicle to stall, but suggested that several parts should be replaced.

Windstar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,450 miles
Vehicle is a Ford Windstar limited 2003 minivan. The advance trac system came on during normal operation and on dry payment and under normal circumstances. The vehicle was not spinning and I was driving about 25 mph. The vehicle pulled to the left into the oncoming traffic and then slowed to a stop on its own. There was a terrible noise as if the front suspension was being torn apart. I drove the vehicle to the side of the road and turned off the advance trac system. After testing the transmission and I proceeded to my destination. When I was a few hundred feet from my home I turned the advance trac system back on and it repeated the same scenario. I then parked the vehicle in my driveway and call a towed truck for delivery to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle.
