NHTSA Complaint #10352712 — 2002 FORD WINDSTAR

MY ABS LIGHT IS ON IN MY MINIVAN. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO CHANGE THE ABS ECM WHICH IS NOT CHEAP, HOWEVER AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE MODEL FORD WINDSTARS, 1999-2003, SEE WWW.FORDWINDSTARRECALL.INFO. I DRIVE WITH MY GRANDSON IN THE VAN ON A DAILY BASIS AND THE FACT THAT I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS, I RELY ON THE ABS SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY IN THE WINTER TIME DUE TO OUR HARSH CLIMATES. PLEASE DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND HELP ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. IF THIS WAS SIMPLY A MAINTENANCE ITEM, SUCH AS BRAKES OR OIL CHANGES, I WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDING, BUT THIS IS A MAJOR SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS IN THE WINTER TIME DURING ANY ICE OR SNOW AS THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE AND HELPING ENSURE THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. *TR
