The contact owns a 2000 Ford Windstar. The cruise control and the ABS light were flashing. The dealer stated that the fuse that controls the ABS light and the cruise control were faulty as well as a leak in the master cylinder. A year after the fuse was replaced, the ABS light began flashing again and the gas gauge was not working properly. The transmission also began to fail. The vehicle is currently at the dealer. The contact is aware of the safety risk since the failure could potentially cause a crash. The current mileage was 124,545 and the failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2000 Ford Windstar. The contact stated that brake fluid was leaking out of the brake pressure differential activation switch.

The consumer stated 2000 Ford Windstar was having multiple problems. The fuses blew out, the lights were blinking on and off, and the odometer/speedometer werenot working. The mechanic that looked at the car suggested that it may be an electrical problem. While driving the lights wereblinking on and off. Consistently, kept the dashboard not illuminated. They have even tried to leave the air off to see if this would help the fuses not to blow out. There were lights on the dashboard that when lit up wthe fuse blew out.. the ABS light came on when the fuse blew out. The rear defroster didn't work nor did the rear air vents. This was not a safety condition for the owner to be traveling with child who has major health issues. The owner has not taken the van to the dealership because she could not afford the cost of labor and service charges. The owner has had a small problem contacting the Ford manufacturer, but that was now resolved. She was planning on contacting them today. The driver's side door will not lock or unlock with the remote. The cruise control was not working.

  • Automatic transmission
  • 53,000 miles
The vehicle kept blowing fuses, and caused the transmission to mallfunction. The manufacturer refused the claim. The heater would make a thump noise inside and would not heat, the third light blew fuses and could not be shifted out of park, there was no out put from the ABS relay, there was possibly an intermittent short in the switch, the ABS light stayed on, the short was traced to the deactivator switch, leaking fluid into the switch.
