Consumer Description

THE ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON IN MY 2002 FORD WINDSTAR. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, THE LIGHTS WENT ON AGAIN - INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WENT ON MORE AND MORE AS THE WEATHER GOT HOTTER, MOSTLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP TO ANALYZE THE CODES. IT HAS TOO MANY ERROR CODES TO LIST, WHICH THE MECHANIC SAYS IS AN INDICATION OF AN ECU FAILURE. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING! I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH THREE KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE, WITH NO ANTILOCK BRAKES. IT IS GOING TO BE SCARY WHEN WINTER COMES AND THE SNOW AND ICE DRIVING BEGINS. I HAVE TO DRIVE IT LIKE THIS THOUGH, BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ( OVER $1,000)!!! THE ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON NOW FOR OVER 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT. *TR
