Consumer Description

2001 FORD WINDSTAR: ABS, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND CRUISE CONTROL ALL SUDDENLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. EACH SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY AT 55MPH AND LOWER, UNTIL DRIVING ON SLICK OR ROUGH PAVEMENT; AT 60MPH OR OVER, ALL 3 SYSTEMS ARE UNUSABLE EVEN ON DRY AND SMOOTH PAVEMENT. TO HAVE SPEED OR BRAKING SYSTEM NOT WORKING AT THE TIMES ONE MIGHT NEED THEM PRESENTS POSSIBLE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES (FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO "PUMP THE BRAKES", AND STEER TIGHT-FISTED TO AVOID COLLISIONS SO FAR). 8TR
