NHTSA Complaint #10387748 — 2003 FORD WINDSTAR

THE VEHICLES ELECTRONIC ANTILOCK BRAKE MODULE HAS FAILED. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS WARNINGS AND NOTICES THAT BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE ONTO THE MODULE , IS A KNOWN CAUSE FOR EARLY FAILURE. ALL MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURN ON WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID CONFIRM THIS FAILURE AND SUGGESTED A REPLACEMENT THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OF COURSE. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT, THAT A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED VEHICLE DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE GASKET ON THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR LEAKING FLUID ON THE MODULE AND CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE IS NOT A MANDATED REPAIR AND NOT SIMPLY SOMETHING LEFT UP TO THE MANUFACTURER. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS FOR THIS COSTLY REPAIR
