Consumer Description

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. I DROVE IT THIS WAY FOR TWO MONTHS. 15 CODES IN THE SYSTEM. FORD DEALER STATES IT'S THE HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BOX. TO REPAIR BOTH WOULD COST 800.00 OR SO, WHICH IS INCLUDING LABOR AND PARTS. STATES IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM OF 1999 FORD WINDSTARS. I HAVE NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WHEN THE ABS LIGHT IS ON. DECLINING TO FIX AT THIS TIME, BUT A HUGE LIABLILITY FOR MYSELF. POSSIBLITY OF BRAKE FAILURE NOT DISCUSSED AT THIS TIME. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPAIR THE UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD 500.00+ (AT A FORD DEALER) AND ALSO HAD THE DOOR AJAR PROBLEM, WHICH WAS FIXED AT HOME HERE FOR 0$. THIS IS THE THIRD AND FINAL PROBLEM LISTED ON CONSUMER REPORTS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR. *JB
