Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR SE VAN WHERE THE BRAKE, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS WILL NOT FUNCTION NORMALLY. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND RUN THE COMPUTER CODES BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WILL HAVE TO BRING THIS VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM FIX IT I'M SURE. IN THE MEANTIME, I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM HAVE STARTED ON FIRE (MINE HASN'T) BUT THIS IS A TICKING TIME BOMB AS THIS IS THE CAR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN RIDE IN. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE TO PERFORM A RECALL TO FIX OR REPLACE THE FAULTY PART(S). *TR
