general problems of the 2002 Ford Windstar

2002 Ford Windstar - having issues with emergency brake light on, abs light on and traction control light on. Have done some research and this is a very common problem that has not been recalled. Braking distance is greatly increased. Abs system does not function.

I have a 2002 Ford Windstar. There was a Ford recall #09s09b to correct the abs/brake light issue. I went to a Ford dealership in my area on 05/27/10 to have the matter corrected but after I left the dealership, I still have the same problem. I am driving this vehicle with fear since the problem has not been corrected and it can result in a fire.

Braking distance suddenly increased ( abs brake light stays on ).

Abs light and brake light coming on and staying on for unknown reasons. When light is on the abs brakes do not work right. Mechanic has checked it many, many times and each time gets a different code. Light comes on intermittent. Comes on regardless of how long driven that day, weather, temperature, or any other changes. This problem has been ongoing for at least a year.

2002 Ford Windstar abs and brake light on. Under carriage started on fire while car parked in parking garage.

Various warning lights coming on,abs , brake light , odometer reading dashes only and overdrive lights started blinking while driving. Electrical diagnosis and pinpoint test by Ford found that the fuse blown due to the brake pressure switch leaking fluid through the wiring harness to the speed control servo and melting the servo. Two days after the repair, the abs light and brake light started coming on again. Tested again by Ford dealer, they said it's a faulty ecu module.

Emergency brake sometimes engages while driving or backing out of my driveway in the morning. The brake light on the dash comes on when this occurs. Dealer cannot find a problem after at least three attempts to fix it. The emergency brake sometimes pops when engaged also - as if the cable snapped or slipped. You have to put the lever down and reset it.

The emergency brake on the 2002 Ford Windstar is defective. I've had it into the dealer numerous times and they say they fix it but nothing ever changes. It sometimes takes two or three pulls on the emergency brake to engage it- irritating if you're parking on a hill and unsafe in a real emergency situation.
