Consumer Description

I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD COMING ON AND DISAPPEARING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS SPORADICALLY WORKING LIKE SO MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHER WINDSTAR OWNERS. I HAVE THREE SMALL CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT ON THE HIGHWAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND I HATE TO THINK OF AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE MADE WORSE BY THIS SITUATION. DON'T WAIT UNTIL A CHILD OR ANY OTHER PERSON LOSES THEIR LIFE OVER THIS SITUATION. PLEASE RECALL THIS MODULE AS WAS DONE ON THE FORD ESCAPE SO THAT LIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE LOST. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. MY BRAKES SQUEAL CONSTANTLY IN HOT WEATHER AND I FEAR OF A FIRE BREAKING OUT WHILE MY DOG AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MAYBE GETTING IN TOUCH WITH OUR LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL OR ANY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET WOULD SHED EXTRA LIGHT ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
