Under normal driving circumstances. . . Usually at speeds over 40 mph the abs system light turns on and after this the brake pedal will shudder heavily when coming to a stop. This is intermittant. When the car comes to a stop and is turned off and then restarted the abs light goes back to normal status (not on). Usually driving on slower surface streets will not activate the light at all.

Defective abs speed indicator ring. It is cracked,slides off the axle and contacts the lower control arm causing front end vibration and noise. There are no abs error messages or indicators. My concern is that in a panic stop the this will cause incorrect information to the abs braking system and cause poor braking. Ford service says there are no service bulletins & want to charge me $200 to fix what I consider a manufacturing defect.

Abs warning light in on all the time. Dealer has inspected vehicleseveral time and could not duplicate or correct the problem.
I have a 98 Ford Taurus and the abs light came on the brakes were not working properly. They would kick back and I could hear a popping sound. So I took it to a care place and the hooked it to the computer it said a bad passenger rear sensor. $200 later the problem wasn't fixed. Now they say it is the main modular sensor OH that's $700. Well the bad thing is I know of 2 other people that have the same problem. This car is suppose to be a safe vehicle. But I'm not impressed and would never buy one again. I think with this many complaints there should be a recall.
The abs light comes on intermittently. Took it to the service station today and they told me the abs computer went. At only 67000 miles? what gives? $600. 00 repair. Also door ajar light stays on all the time. Had to disconnect the bulb in the interior lights so the battery doesn't run down. Car squeaks when making turns, a/c rattles. Not happy with this car at all.
