NHTSA Complaint #10454788 — 2001 FORD WINDSTAR

A FEW MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (MAY 2008) THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON, INTERMITTENTLY, EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WOULD COME ON WHEN I WENT AROUND A SHARP CURVE OR HIT A POTHOLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON (NO ERROR CODES) AND WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE ON (EVERY ABS ERROR CODE CAME UP). I WAS TOLD BY ALL 3 MECHANICS THAT THE ABS SENSOR BOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS GOING TO COST OVER $300 PLUS LABOR TO REPAIR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS OK TO DRIVE BUT THAT WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON MY ABS WAS NOT WORKING AND THAT I SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN OR WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS WERE SLICK BECAUSE I WOULD NEED EXTRA TIME TO PREPARE FOR A FULL STOP. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT FIXES WITH NO RESOLUTION, INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABS SENSOR BOARD. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO ENSURE THAT MY ABS BRAKES WILL WORK CORRECTLY? *TR
