Consumer received several recall/ campaign notice 03E003000 regarding ds-2000 primary driving control system. Consumer did not agree with the campaigns that the manufacturer called routine maintenance. These repairs were very costly, and did not fix the problem with dirt and foreign materials entering the system, and causing the system to operate slowly. The controls on the system had to be pressed firmly until the function, e.g., shifting was accomplished.

1998 Ford Windstar I had to have the front tie rod ends replaced twice with only 47K miles. From what I understand talking to repair garages this seems to be a common problem with Windstar vans.
