Q: What was the reason it was taken out of service and so you know if there are any major problems with the engine or transmission?
A: The 2003 Ford Windstar was taken out of service due to brake issues, including a frozen emergency brake, and frequent engine stalling. The check engine light is on, and a mechanic estimated costly repairs. Per City staff, the engine "coughs, sputters, and stalls" and "often fails to perform consistently." I am not aware of any transmission issues. It was involved in a T-bone accident in 2011 but was salvaged and repaired by the City. The van was last driven in October 2022 and is currently not running. This is all the information available.
