This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
ABS and brake light are coming on in my 2003 Ford Windstar van. When you shut car off the light will go out and after driving for a while they come back on (even while have cruise control on)and stay on till car is shut off again.
ABS and brake lights come on intermittently and with out any particular reason, although bumpy road seams to effect this more often than not. I have had the ABS module pulled and cleaned and re installed to no avail. The module will now be replaced at an approximate cost of $750.
2003 Ford Windstar, ABS and brake light come on intermediately. While on ABS system fails to function. Restarting car clears out issue but will return indiscriminate. Lights coming on has no ties to actual act of braking or speed of car. Service shop reports problem in ABS module, which estimated cost of $1000.
ABS and brake light started to go on in the last week. Also odometer goes flat brakes squeal every other time I use car. Owned 5 years new 16,000 +miles on car single and only owner. I took it to my mechanics and he checked and couldn't find a reason. He suggested I go on line because he had no record of a recall by Ford.
After I have driven my 2003 Ford Windstar long enough for the engine to heat up, the yellow ABS light and the red emergency brake light come on and stay on for the remainder of the trip. Also, on long trips, the O/D off light blinks incessantly along with the aforementioned lights. I have done some research and found that this is a problem that extends to many, many Windstar and before I spend an arm and a leg to correct the problem, I would like to know if it is a defect in manufacturing.
