I HAVE 1999 FORD WINDSTAR. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE ODOMETER, JUMPING I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM GOING, NOW MY GAS HAND AND TEMP. CONTROL IS DOING THE SAME THING. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A YEAR AND HALF. I HAVE HAD IT TO TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES. NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS WAS A FORD 1999 WINDSTAR RECALL ON THE ABS SYSTEM. THE RECALL STATED THAT A FIRE MAY OCCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ABS. I TOOK THE CAR IN, HOWEVER THE BRAKE FLUID LEAK INSIDE THE CAR HAS GOTTEN WORSE. FROM TIME TO TIME THE CAR SMOKES UP, AND THERE IS A BURNING SMELL. THE ABS LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS IS STILL A HAZARD WITH ALL THE FLAMMABLE BRAKE FLUID IN THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP AND OTHERS HAVE CALLED THIS PROBLEM "BRAKING DISTANCE SUDDENLY INCREASED SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC". BRAKE FLUID LEAKING INTO THE CAR. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR CONSTANTLY. I HAVE CLEANED MY CAR WITH THE THOUGHT THAT I SPILLED OIL, HOWEVER AFTER READING UP FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL, THIS WAS NOT MENTIONED AT ALL TO ME BY THE FORD DEALER....

I BOUGHT MY 99 FORD WINDSTAR SEL IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2006) AND NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT WHEN I WOULD PULL OUT FROM RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AND THE VAN WOULD EITHER DIE ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY HESITATE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THAT IT WAS MY KEYS SO THEY REPROGRAMMED MY KEYS. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP, I BROUGHT IT BACK A SECOND TIME, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVED IT HAD TO DO WITH MY THEFT DEVICE. THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS FIXED THEN SENT ME HOME WITH IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME EVERY TIME I GOT IN MY VAN OR CLOSED MY DRIVER DOOR FROM ENTERING OR EXITING MY VAN...
