NHTSA complaint: 2001 FORD WINDSTAR — STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE POWER REAR DOORS ATTEMPT TO SHUT BUT THEN FAIL TO LATCH LEAVING THE DOORS AJAR. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY DURING HOT WEATHER. MY DAUGHTER WAS INJURED WHEN BOTH DOORS FAILED TO LATCH AND THEN THE CHILDREN SHUT THE DOOR MANUALLY (NON-POWER ASSIST) INJURING HER FINGERS IN THE DOOR. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FAILURE TO LATCH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER FORD WINDSTAR OWNERS WE KNOW WITH 1999 OR 2000 MODELS. THIS TIME THE TEMPTURE WAS IN THE 70'S
