NHTSA Complaint #10233830 — 2001 FORD WINDSTAR

I JUST RECENTLY BROUGHT MY FORD WINDSTAR (2001) TO THE REPAIR SHOP DUE TO SOME UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. AT FIRST, BOTH ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON THEN THE ODOMETER COUNTER WENT BLANK, O/D LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY BLINKING AND THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR WILL NOT ENGAGE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME ABOUT WHAT HE DISCOVERED UNDER THE DASHBOARD, THE ABS MECHANISM DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS DUE TO ABS CONTROL FLUID LEAK. I DECIDED TO LOOK FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON THE INTERNET DUE TO A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A LOT OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES I HAD EXPERIENCED. LUCKILY MY VEHICLE DID NOT SET ON FIRE. I AM SURPRISED THAT FORD COMPANY NEVER TOOK ACTION ON THIS ISSUE KNOWING THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. KINDLY INFORM ME IF THERE IS ANY RECALL FROM FORD COMPANY REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
