Abs failure Windstar 2002 code c1185. It seems to be a common problem that Ford is not doing anything about. I took my van to a dealer im having the abs module replace.
This is on a 2002 Ford Windstar. The brake pressure differential deactivation switch located under the master cylinder has developed a leak. This appears to be a know problem with the Ford Windstar but Ford has done nothing about it. Also, the abs system failed due to heat build up. Again it appears that this is something that Ford has known. I also noticed that Ford escapes were recalled with this same problem so why not the Windstars?.
Iã‚m reporting this as a fire hazard. The vehicle was in the driveway and began to smoke. The vehicle is in good repair, not neglected or abused. I located the source it was the abs module and disconnected the battery until I could make arrangements with the dealer. I drove the vehicle to the dealership. The abs module had failed and burned the wiring harness. There were no warning lamps or fuses burned. I questioned why there was no warning and shouldnã‚t there been safeguards in place to prevent such damage. I asked if there were other cases of the same occurrence and the dealer didnã‚t know. I asked if there was someone else I could contact and they told me I could call Ford customer care. The dealer informed me that the dealership and Ford motor company are not responsible for the damage caused to the vehicle since the warranty expired and that further damage or fire would result if not repaired. A copy of the invoice for repairs is available upon request. Parts replaced: 1l1z9f924aa - kit- brake repair 2f2z2c219ba- control 1f2z2b373aa - valve asy-motulator 1f2z14290ca - wiring asy the dealer has the old parts I call and asked them to hold them for investigation. Please investigate my complaint and contact me if you have any questions. Iã‚m also requesting assistance for litigation if possible to recover the cost of the wiring assembly part #1f3z14290ca.
