Consumer Description

OUR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAILED ON OUR 2002 FORD WINDSTAR. A DEFECTIVE SWITCH HAD LEAKED BRAKE FLUID INTO AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS CAUSING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM TO FAIL. WE WERE TOLD BY THE FORD DEALER THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $1,500, WE WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT THE VEHICLE COULD CATCH ON FIRE AT ANY TIME. THIS INCLUDED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE SERVICE WRITER ALSO STATED THAT HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD HAD NOT RECALLED THE WINDSTAR AS THE SAME FAILURE OF THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM ON THE PICK-UPS HAD BEEN. *TR
