2 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1998 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 12/23/2003

1998 Ford Windstar. Abs pump has failed and brakes are not working properly. There was no brake light on dash to denote a problem and nothing coming up when tests were run on computer. All mechanics thought it was the master cylinder and as a results I had 5 put on the van from christmas 2003 to present. Called Ford directly and said that they would note the problem, but nothing that they can do to fix the problem. I cannot drive my family in the vehicle as afraid of having accident in result of pump not functioning. Cost just for pump is $2200. 00 not including labor. Very upset that Ford will not stand behind their product and attempt to help.

3 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1998 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 01/26/2001

From the date of purchase, January 2002, brakes and abs system has failed ,peyton-cramer Ford has charged us to replace an abs ring, 2 sensors and a tire. After all of these repairs peyton-cramer Ford has failed to correct the braking problem and now they want to charge $1,300 for a new abs system. The vehicle currently has 40k miles. The transmission has currently gone out as well within the past week. I feel that this matter should be investigated because I feel that this vehicle is a lemon due to the low mileage on the vehicle and because of the multiple problems with this vehicle. Peyton cramer Ford is unwilling to assist with the current abs problem. The transmission will be covered because I currently have an extended warranty on my vehicle. However, the abs is not covered by my current extended warranty and Ford motor is unwilling to offer any goodwill assistance with the repair.

4 Air Brake Antilock problem of the 1996 Ford Windstar

Failure Date: 12/23/1998

We have been having our abs light come on when the van travel on the highway. When traveling at speeds between 50-55 after 3-10 miles at this speed the abs light comes on. This problem started in Dec 1998 and the dealership thought they fixed the problem by cleaning the sensors. The problem kept coming back . Now we were informed that there is a toothed collar on the front axles that the sensors monitor for speed. These rings crack and the sensor picks up the crack. The dealership replaced the left front axles on the van on 24 sept 1999. They figured this would fix the problem. We drove the van to my parents home in scranton, PA and 7 miles into the journey the abs came on again. The problem will not go away and Ford has no spare parts to replace these rings until 15 oct. How can someone place a 5 star government safety rating on a vehicle when the main safety does not operate. Within the last 3 months this van has had the subframe mount, steering rods and part and last the whole left axle. If we keep this up my wife will have a whole new van. We have a handicapped child and the van is very useful for him and his baby brother. We don't drive it but local any more. We don't feel safe. We are asking how this van received a 5 star safety rating and what could you do to help us get this problem corrected. We only buy american made cars, but as of latley I am looking at old junk cars. Please feel free to contact us at anytime to talk about this. Thank you for you time.
