I OWN A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS RIGHT AWAY. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF QUITE OFTEN. AT ABOUT 125,000 MILES I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. MY O/D LIGHT ALSO BEGAN TO FLASH AND MY SPEEDOMETER JUMPED UP AND DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND HAD TO HAVE A SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. A DAY LATER THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED AGAIN. THE ABS LIGHT BEGAN TO COME ON AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER. NOW I HAVE A LIGHT ON THE PANEL (THE MASTER LIGHTING SWITCH). WHEN I TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS, THE PARKING LIGHTS COME BACK ON. I USED TO BE ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF AND SOMETIMES THEY WOULD STAY OFF, BUT NOW I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY...

THEY HAVE EVEN TRIED TO LEAVE THE AIR OFF TO SEE IF THIS WOULD HELP THE FUSES NOT TO BLOW OUT. THERE WERE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT WHEN LIT UP WTHE FUSE BLEW OUT. . THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE FUSE BLEW OUT. THE REAR DEFROSTER DIDN'T WORK NOR DID THE REAR AIR VENTS. THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY CONDITION FOR THE OWNER TO BE TRAVELING WITH CHILD WHO HAS MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES. THE OWNER HAS NOT TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST OF...
