| Massively erratic behavior of the instrument cluster. all of the gauges; the speedometer and rpm gauges, heat and all just jump rapidly up and down. sometimes they give false indicators. the heat meter arm goes up when it is not hot. it's really scary. it's been going on for weeks. it doesnt' happen often and i am not sure why it happens. this is a minivan i.e. a family car. i cannot wait to get rid of this car. i'll never buy a ford again. | |||

| We lost our odometer, speedometer, cruise control and air conditioning on a recent trip from va to nc. at first, replacing the #10amp fuse took care of the problem. within one week, the fuses began to blow as soon as the car is turned on. now, it blows the fuse each time a new one is replaced. therefore, no odometer, speedometer, cool air, cruise control, etc. after a lot of research on line, we have found numerous sources with incredible documentation and consistency showing that this problem has been pervasive across ford windstar products in the age range of our van. we have not had a fire, but there is enough of a record on this, that something should be done about it with ford before someone has a fire that causes death or injury. thanks for a response on what we can expect next. *tr | |||
