general problems of the 2002 Ford Windstar

I Jan 2014 the abs & break warning light started coming on occassionally I has been to a mechanic several times I am told the breaks are fine but my abs system may not work and it would be a $1500 repair. Now the lights stay on constantly.

First, the power steering wasn't working and parts of it had to be repaired and replaced. But the worrying thing is that the abs yellow light and the red brake icon on the dashboard often come on and remain on while we're driving. That is worrying, as we don't know if it means the brakes are faulty or not. A firestone mechanic said it was because of rust build-up, but I don't like that the yellow abs and the red brake icons come on, because who knows if that means the brakes won't work or not. From my online research, this seems to be a common problem with Ford Windstars, and needs to be addressed!.

Inside lights comes on and flashes at times while driving, abs and brakes light comes on and stays on while driving.

Brake, abs brake, cruise control, and speedometer/odometer electrical problems my dash lights are on and off all the time went to 3 mechanic they all checked my brakes, abs and could not find a problem it goes on whenever it wants stays on for weeks then comes back on while driving this has been doing for over a year. I even put stickers over the lights that I can see while driving. I still think there is a electrical wiring problem it is very annoying. I can not afford to get another vehicle . I see there are a lot of complaint about same problem my niece has one does the same thing and my brother in law in west virginia his is doing it too so I really thing Ford needs to check into this before someone's van catches fire or hurt some one.

2002 Ford Windstar abs light turns on during summer extreme hot weather and performs normally during other times of the year. I have always felt it was heat related and recently became aware that many other people have reported the same problem. . Read more...
