Consumer Description

MY 2000 FORD WINDSTAR HAS BEE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE BRAKES HAVE OCCASIONALLY MADE A HIGH PITCHED NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING TOGETHER. I ALSO HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE OTHER DAY AND THE BRAKES DECIDED TO ACTIVATE THEMSELVES WITHOUT ME PRESSING THEM. THE ABS LIGHT ALSO CAME ON THE DASH. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THIS MADE ME COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OUT AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON MY WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ABS. *TR
