general problems of the 2003 Ford Windstar

Just another day of driving down the street on the bumpy road. When I finally pass the construction area to the newly paved road to come to a stop at the light, car started to skid locked up the front wheel. Whole van shack. Then the abs and brake light came on. It was a life or death experience for me! now the abs and brake light lid up on the regular bases. Help!!.

I have a 2003 Ford Windstar and the abs and brake light comes on every time im out driving. I feel this is a safety hazard and needs the attention of the government to resolve this matter before we start losing families.

Owner of 03 Ford Windstar. Problem notice on the 2nd day of owning the car back in July 2010. After parked the car on driveway, noticed the parking brake light on. Soon after, the abs light came on. Took the car in for a total service of oil, coolant, brake, tranny fluid change. And had the abs light checked up. The technician informed me about the abs ecm board could be bad. Without any other vehicle, I had to drive it to airport right after the auto shop. On the way to airport, the abs and brake light came on again. Causing me taking my eyes off the road, trying to release the hand brake, while driving 65mph on highway swerve from lane to lane. It was very scary! I had to focus on whether the brake light had to do with actual brake, release accel pedal, no noticeable deceleration. Checked the 101 and 102 fuse, both good. So I'm pretty sure the abs ecm circuit board had to do with it. Today the abs and parking brake continues to come on and stay on. Every now and then it doesn't light on. Please help me and many others who are facing the same problems!!.

My abs light keeps illuminating. This has been going on for approximately a year. I had the fix for the recall of the speed control that from what I am reading could be causing the issue with the abs lights due to fluid leaking. 2003 Ford Windstar.

2003 Ford Windstar abs and emergency light stay on even with no brake issue.

Brake light and abs light comes on after a few minutes of driving our 2003 Ford Windstar. Started happening intermittently in July 2008 but now just about every day. Ford dealer inspected the vehicle on 5/13/09 and found hydraulic control and electronic control units need to be replaced. Est cost nearly $1,300.

I have a 2003 Ford Windstar and the abs light (amber color) and brake light (red color) will just illuminate while driving down the road. I have taken it in to be serviced and the Ford dealership and another mechanic shop have not been able to find what is causing the lights to come on while I am driving down the road. Today, for example, I had been driving for about 15 minutes when it came on. I pulled over and turned the vehicle off and then back on and the lights went off. About 5 miles down the road, they came on again. I once again pulled over and turned the vehicle off and back on two times before the lights went off. It seems to be pretty random as to when the lights will come on, but it freaks me out every time it happens.

Abs and brake light started to go on in the last week. Also odometer goes flat brakes squeal every other time I use car. Owned 5 years new 16,000 +miles on car single and only owner. I took it to my mechanics and he checked and couldn't find a reason. He suggested I go on line because he had no record of a recall by Ford.

Ford Windstar 2003 abs light, trac active light, and brake light intermittently go on and off and stay on for various amounts of time and then just turn off on their own with no apparent reason found. Car operates fine when these lights come on. I am worried about a vehicle fire. This is still an ongoing problem in my car. Searched the web and many other Ford minivans have the same problem. Ford ash to do something!!.
