My 2000 ford windstar has bee having problems with the abs. over the past few weeks the brakes have occasionally made a high pitched noise that sounds like metal grinding together. i also happened to be driving down the road the other day and the brakes decided to activate themselves without me pressing them. the abs light also came on the dash. i was unable to move forward because this made me come to a complete stop. i then turned off the vehicle and turned it back on. the light then went out and i was able to continue on my way. this has happened several times since then. ford needs to issue a recall on the abs. *tr

Abs failure, braking distance reduced. traction contro off, effects safety of driving in slippery conditions

I own a 200 ford windstar and recently took it to a ford dealer to have the speed control module replaced due to recall. i did so after having problems with my brake system (not having any brake). i originally brought it to a regular garage and they could not figure out why i had no brake because my brakes were good so they told me to get to ford and have recall situation taken care of. after doing so i still have hardly any brake and the abs light still comes on. every week i seem to be putting in brake fluid because the red brake light comes on. on a few occasions i have had problems getting out of park and have no idea why. i am due to have an inspection and don't know what im going to do if it does not pass due to not having much of a brake. is there some other problem we should be looking at involving the abs system? *tr

My 2000 ford windstar lost it's brakes for a moment from the resulting leak at the deactivation switch attached to the master cylinder. after consulting my local mechanic. we discovered brake fluid all over the engine compartment. this would have probably resulted in a fire if brakes had not failed for a moment. i taken the correct action and had the switch replaced but i'm not confident in this vehicle any longer i've since looked on the internet and found this is a large safety issue which is still under investigation. *tr
