Problems with 2001 Ford Windstar VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Takata recall. my van will not shift out of 1 gear. only can reach maximum of 20 miles per hour.

The needles on the temperature gauge, rpm gauge and gas gauge started to move up and down in a crazy manner. after a while, it stopped, but it comes back occasionally. also, the abs and brake light will come on at times. i had the brakes looked at and nothing appears to be wrong. *tr

Abs, traction control, cruise control and speedometer either are intermittent or not working at all. this causes issues with braking, vehicle control, driver attentiveness and other safety related issues. *tr

I didn't have a crash i noticed that my abs brake and tire pressure light was staying on and a short time after i started hearing a loud rumbling noise in the front end every time i slow an it's impossible to make sudden stops and at times my speedometer starts flickering back and forth as well as my cruise control is currently inoperable. i have limited driving this vehicle in which i purchased due to feeling it is not in a safe manner for my children to be in. i have had several shops as well as individuals that told me these areas are common to go out on this specific vehicle and that there is possible recall. i just want to be able to drive my van with out worrying if i'm going to be able to come to a stop when needed as well as not knowing if i could possible break down or something break in the front end while i am driving at somewhat high speeds. thank you and hope to hear from someone soon in regards to this situation! *tr

Ecu module for abs is shorted out and causes gauge cluster to short out. this causes abs light & brake light to turn on and all gauges stop working and they jump around . this was diagnosed by ford dealership in wi. said brake fluid leaks in to ecu and shorts out wires . told me . $2000.00 to fix . these problems are a safety issue . abs and speedometer and gauges don't work . should be a recall . *tr

While sitting at the red light my brake light, abs light, over drive lights all came on and then my speedometer would not register when i started to go when the light turned green. *tr

I was driving down the interstate going to a local fast food when i loss all acceleration the car was slowing down even though i was giving it gas. knowing i was slowing down i turned my hazard lights on and coasted to the shoulder lane the car was still running so i turned the car on and off. i still had no acceleration the car wouldn't go into any gear or reverse i had know choice but to tow it home.i looked around on the internet to find out what the problem is it seems that this is all to common with ford windstars. just looking for a solution to what seems to be a problem even if you go down the list of possible replacements just needing help with a solution. i didn't have the usual indicators that you would have when something goes wrong my engine light didn't come on at all which is weird. *tr

The same part indicated in recall is bad, my van needs fix. the recall doesn't cover my part or repair because my vin isn't showing any recalls. when the same problem happened to me indicated in the recall. is there anything i can do? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 ford windstar. the contact stated that brake fluid was leaking onto the wiring harness and caused a shortage with the vehicle speed control, instrument cluster and the radio. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 09v399000 (vehicle speed control), which the dealer installed a connector to the brake pressure switch but the repair did not correct the failure. the dealer did not include the fused wiring harness in line with the scds. the contact stated that after the vehicle was taken to his home, he installed a number 10 fuse however, the connector was still faulty and caused smoke to emit from the wiring harness. the dealer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. the manufacturer was also notified, who advised that they had performed the required recall repair but could provide no further assistance. the failure mileage was 103,153.

After repairing my speed controller my abs and brake lights have been coming on the dashboard intermittently and are coming on more and more. took it to the dealer and no codes show up,but i do not trust it . *tr

My abs light and brake light and tractoin controll lights are all on at all times nowand my speed domitor has slowly gone out on my 2001 windstar sel the date below is an aprox

I took my van in for the 11s16 recall and now problems are taking place afterwards. i got my van back and now the check engine light is on and coolant is leaking everywhere. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 ford windstar. while driving 55 mph with the cruise control activated and attempting to make a turn, the vehicle proceeded to drive forward without warning. the vehicle caught fire and a fire report was filed. the fire department extinguished the fire. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Abs light, air bag light and brake light keeps coming back on while car is on. *tr

The parking brake and abs warning lights come on intermittently and tend to stay on when the vehicle is warm. this vehicle has already had the recall 09v399000 performed on it so the lights coming on should not be related to that issue. it appears to be the same problem that many other people are experiencing with their windstar vans which is a bad solder on the abs control module circuit board. i have only driven the van a few thousand miles since the lights started coming on so i have not noticed any loss of function that other people have experienced. *tr
