NHTSA Complaint #10284544 — 2001 FORD WINDSTAR

THREE MONTHS AGO, I BOUGHT A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR LX AND ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE ABS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY AND I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PEDAL WON'T COME BACK UP AS USUAL, I CHANGED BRAKE PADS, CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WHICH WAS LOW BUT THEN EVERYTIME I USE MY VAN THERE'S LIKE A PLASTIC OR FLUID BURNING SMELL THAT COMES FROM UNDERNEATH MY VAN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, MY CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING AND, I'M AFRAID SOMETHING BAD COULD HAPPENED IN THE FUTURE, I TOOK MY VAN TO A BRAKE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM ON THESE VANS, I CHECKED FORDS WEBSITE ENTERED MY VANS VIN # BUT THERE IS NO RECALL SO LOOKING IN THE INTERNET I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD REPORT THAT TO NHTSA BECAUSE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION ALREADY OPEN AND FILLING THESE REPORT MIGHT HELP THAT INVESTIGATION ENDING IN A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY FORD. *TR
