NHTSA Complaint #10268286 — 2002 FORD WINDSTAR

VEHICLE BECAME HAVING INTERMITTENT ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION WHILE DRIVING. THIS BEGAN IN 2007. I HAD IT CHECKED AND THE DEALER ADVISED IT WAS A CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I CHECKED ON LINE TO GET A BETTER STORY, WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES. OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS MARCH/APRIL 2009 THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BECOME WORST. FINALLY CRUISE CONTROL BECAME INTERMITTENT AND THEN QUIT. I CHECKED BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH FOUND FLUID IN AND AROUND THE SWITCH WHICH IS ONE OF THE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSTAR. THE ABS SYSTEM AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE CURRENTLY INOP. THERE ARE NO BLOWN FUSES. *TR
