The dealer located in the sandy spring rejected to the take remedy action on the recall 09s09. i complained to the dealer service department that the odometer is malfuntioning when it is in operation. it suddenly cause unknown acceleration when using the cruise control. it is also found out the brake hose is leaking as results of the speed control modification system by the local mechanic shop.
Abs light on and speedometer failure
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 ford windstar. while driving at approximately 40 mph, the brake warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear brakes needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made award of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
Abs light came on continually for the last 6000 miles. brought the vehicle to ford in plainville, ct and they told me there was no recall and the cost was to include a new computer for an unreasonable dollar amount. still not corrected and i understand that the abs system is not working. have checked other owners and they have the same problem. also have a cruise control system that is not working. have been told that i need a new harness for a cost of over #300. still not activated. *tr
It appears to be an electrical problem. new brakes pads on front, system was bled of air, brake pedal has normal travel. abs may not function. *tr
Abs brake light on and/of at will, not consistant. fear of abs not functioning in the event of abs being needed.
Abs light keeps coming on. replaced all speed sensors and front axle tone rings even rebuild the abs control module. this is costing me allot of money and the abs light still come on even after i have completed all the necessary repairs. ford needs to recall these windstars to make the necessary repairs for these vehicles. *tr
The brake abs light came on again. had been on and off during the morning. in town and stopping for a regular traffic light- during the beginning of the stop that was on a wet road - traveling 28 mph: windstar van locked up right rear tire and vehicle did not stop - tire skidded -wheel / tire was locked and screeching while all the other tires were turning. van did not stop as expected and took about 125 feet to stop - all the time screeching the 1 right rear tire. vehicle just would not stop. i was shocked. never happened before in all the years. owned for about 14+ years. i am the original owner. purchased ford windstar new. abs light remains on. it was as if i had no brakes then. i did not understand why the other 3 wheels / brakes did not slow and stop the vehicle? the windstar finally did stop and i was right at the stop line at the traffic light. very scary. *tr
Went over rumble strip on roadway and abs light came on, brake pedal became hard to push. this happened on monday 9/22/2014 my mother in law who owns the vehicle said that this had been happening quite frequently over the past few months. i put my scan tool on the vehicle and got 3 abs codes c1235, c1236, and c1185. the first two codes pertain to rear wheel sensors and the third pertains to a power relay for the abs. we have found paper work for three recalls, one related to sub frame corrosion one for the rear axle, and one for an abs sensor wire. from what i have been reading this problem could be related to the first abs problem with the harness replacement. *tr
Abs light came on when i started the van. *tr
Abs light is on
Abs and traction control lights come on and will not clear with a scan tool. there are 11 codes showing, all to do with abs/traction control. normal braking seems fine, not sure what will happen with a skid or loss of traction in ice or snow. i am told there is a recall on the brake system on this van. do i need to be concerned about these warning lights? *tr
Abs light is always on. traction control light is also always on. *tr
While driving on my way home the abs light came on my ford windstar 1999. *tr
The abs is coming on as i come to a normal stop which causes the braking distance to suddenly increase just as you're about to stop. you have to take steps to avoid hitting the car in front of you due to the abs errantly engaging. *tr
