Rotted rear axle beam , 2002 ford windstar , this vehicle was taken to a near by town ford dealership : ace motors in woodbury nj , for the rear axle recall in 2015 not sure if anything has been repaired or not i was just told by the dealership that the vehicle was inspected and passed and ok to drive but when the axle broke on the driver side i took pitchers and it looks like someone has put on some kind of slave clamps on both sides of the axle that i don't see on other ford windstar mini vans ( see pitchers ) called up the dealership ace motors and they said to bring it up to them and they will have a look at it and maybe it can be put in a claim ticket but again maybe not , it's hard enough to put on a flatbed tow truck with the damage that it has and if some reason they don't put a claim ticket in i can't afford to keep towing this vehicle all over the place so dealership gave me the ford i.n.c company phone number : 800-392-3673 , so i called ...

The abs warning light stays lit after starting.
Exiting highway from off ramp into 4 lane red light intersection at normal speed. applied brakes, no reaction to slow down. pumped brakes still no slowing. drove car into shoulder and field at off ramp. car went through chain link fence and finaly came to a stop when it hit a tree. police responded. no injuries or major property damage. car was towed to garage and finally ford dealer. the brake module failed. month old inpection, no brake problem. police commended fast thinking to avoid a major accident invovling hitting any other vehichles. i have a police report but i do not have a scanner.
Abs recall
Yellow abs light and red brake light come on simultaneously on dashboard in intermittent and random fashion. has been happening over extended period of time - sometimes off, often on. am informed by my mechanic that when these lights are on, the abs braking system is nonfunctioning and therefore, a driving hazard. when these lights are on, brakes are functional but as in standard, non-abs mode. many others have complained about this same problem in the same model vehicle over several model years. seems to be a manufacturer defect that should be corrected before someone is seriously injured or killed. this is not a wear and tear item since it is widely reported in this model and my vehicle has only 84,000 miles of light driving over 15 years.
I get a warning to check the traction control and i get a brake malfunction warning, it resets after i turn the car off and it's sporadic.
I was driving down the road and our and and brake lights had came on. took it to the local shop and was told about the c1185 code was on. we were driving on the way home, and it just comes and goes with every start up and shut off. car was in motion. to my acknowledgement i'm not positive what is causing this issue but i've been researching and have read about many of the same issues in this particular van series. i've read about ford's safety recall number 09s09 and and my vehicle is to be in that recall as well.
