NHTSA Complaint #10627404 — 2001 FORD WINDSTAR

RED BRAKE LIGHT AND YELLOW ABS LIGHT ON AT SAME TIME. AT FIRST INTERMITTENT THEN MORE LIKELY ON THAN OFF IN JUNE OF 2014 I FOUND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID FROM SWITCH ON BOTTOM OF MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING TO NUMEROUS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS CAUSING O/D LIGHT TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP WORKING ODOMETER SHOWS - - - - - IN PLACE OF MILEAGE. LEARNED OF RECALL VIA INTERNET AND TOOK VEHICLE TO RON CARTER FORD 3005 FM 528 ALVIN TX 77512 ON 07/17/2014. THEY EXPLAINED THAT IN SPITE OF ALL DAMAGE CAUSED THE ONLY THING THEY WOULD DO WAS REPLACE LEAKING SWITCH WITH NEW ONE AS MANDATED BY THE RECALL. THEY REPLACED THIS SWITCH AND RETURNED VEHICLE WITH ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS INCLUDING BRAKE FLUID INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SELECTOR SWITCH AND VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH MASTER CYLINDER. I CANNOT TELL IF THE VEHICLE STILL PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD OR NOT AS THERE IS STILL BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE. RON CARTER REFUSES TO LOOK AT VEHICLE OR PROVIDE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS CLEARLY ALL RELATED TO THE RECALL. *TR
