My abs light keeps coming on. it goes out when the car is turned off but comes back on after driving a coupl of miles. *tr
Abs light illuminated on dash. *tr
After purchasing van, not even one month later all lights started to turn on engine, abs now n and its a rear light on gauge panel also we are in the middle of trying to get decent price for the freeze plug which also needs to be replaced because there is a leak of coolant from the bottom of van. other wise its ok to drive. one i thing i didn't mention is the seat its struck it wont move back or forward with the electrical button. *tr
Braking distance suddenly increased -dashboard abs display 'on'. *tr
My abs light has been on since i bought this car and now i am hearing about many other people with the same problem. is it dangerous? *tr
Abs and trac failure lights come on, windows won't go up and down, cruise control cuts in and out and the check engine light flashes when cruise is on. ford refuses to deal with this situation and stand by their product. *tr
The abs light periodically comes on. the brakes, for no reason, occasionally seem to go into abs mode (and seems unrelated to the light being on or off). the brakes get softer and seem to pump. i've experienced real abs working when braking in north east ice and snow. i'm now driving in the south and the braking seems pretty close to what i remember for actual abs actuation. i replaced the master cylinder and had a complete fluid change but to no effect. *tr
The abs light went on after operating the windstar for approximately a mile. since i new i could continue to operate the vehicle safely, i completed my errands and returned home. when i arrived home i felt excessive heat from under the vehicle and upon inspection found that the right front brake was engaged. the other three brakes were in normal position. i had to replace the front rotors, pads, and right front caliper. i also replaced the brake fluid as it smelled burnt. with the abs module connected, the front brakes would lock, so i had to disconnect the abs completely. *tr
Abs light continually comes on, many repairs have been made by mechanic and light still comes on. *tr
Abs light illuminated a few months after a recall was complied by ford. the recall consist of replacing a brake pressure switch, cruise control part, and abs module. *tr
The abs lights comes on after the speed of the car goes above 5-10mph. *tr
I was driving my van and i tried to stop and could not stop and hit the back of another car had feet all the way down on brake and van would not stop!! i was terrified and my 10 year old lil girl is traumatized!!!! *tr
Abs dash light is always on and there is no abs function on ice. brakes function okay otherwise. the loss of the abs feature is troubling as i have to drive on the interstate as well as rural roads which don't get cleared quickly in the winter. local ford service writer indicated approximately $99.00 to hook up to tester with no guarantee of repair, just cancellation of the code!!! i have run into numerous problems with faulty ford connectors, (cruise control malfunction, fuel gauge giving incorrect reading, running out of gas with gauge showing 1/4 tank, requiring a tow!). *tr
Abs light is on, cruise control stopped working suddenly, three of the windows stopped working suddenly. power locks stopped working also. *tr
The abs light goes on and off since the vehicle was purchased. the brakes have been checked several times and we were told they are fine. however, the light goes on and off. this would make any driver nervous to constantly worry if there is a brake issue especially with the family with you. also, the speedometer and the tachometer has starting randomly bouncing around like crazy. it does not happen at a certain mileage either. after a minute or so, they start to function again. this began about a month ago. i have read several blogs of many fellow windstar van owners that have been experiencing the same problem for years. i believe that ford needs to step in and rectify the problems. ford should stand by there product and fix the failing parts. does there have to be a serious injury or death before a recall is done! *tr
The abs light stays on and the brakes make a loud noise (sounds like an electrical issue)when stopping. i checked the pads and rotors and they appear fine. i have bleed the brakes to try to resolve the issue but it didn't help. not sure of the original incident date as i bought the van used a few months ago. *tr
The abs controller for this vehicle has stopped functioning. this is a known defect with this model. the causes are either poor soldering on or damage from fluids to the controller's board. without abs, the vehicle is significantly less safe and i've experienced five incidents where i and my passengers narrowly escaped serious injury due to ford's and the nhta's unwillingness to rectify this flaw. *tr
The abs light turned on and won't go off. i have taken it in for repair and i have not been able to get the problem fixed. *tr
Abs light randomly comes on and will stay on until car is turned off. *tr
Abs light comes on and off along with overdrive light. *tr
Abs light has been coming on for years. ford tech could not fix, and has cleared the following codes on several occasions - all related to the anti-lock braking system: c1185, c1194, c1198, c1210, c1214, c1242, c1246, c1250, c1254. *tr
