Consumer Description

2001 FORD WINDSTAR ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON FOR NO REASON. MIGHT COME ON WHEN HITTING BUMPS AND MIGHT NOT. I HAVE HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT ISSUE. MANY FAILURES REPORT. ENDED UP BRAKE RELAY/CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED. APPROX. FIX $1200 WHICH EXPLAINS WHY FORD WON'T ADMIT ISSUE.. MY NIECE HAD SAME VAN SAME ISSUE INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH IT SHE TRADED VAN IN. LIGHTS DON'T STAY ON ALL THE TIME BUT BOTH COME ON AT SAME TIME AND GO OFF AT SAME TIME. MECHANIC SAID BRAKES WILL WORK BUT NO ABS AVAILABLE WHEN LIGHT IS ON. I WOULD THINK FORD WOULD RECOGNIZE THIS AS SAFETY ISSUE. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED FOR APPROX. 2 YEARS OR MORE ON THIS VAN. WE HAVE OWNED FOR APPROX. 6-7 YEARS. *TR
