I was driving down the road about 35 mph when my gauges started to bounce back and forth like crazy until 1 of them broke off. I manage to fix the broken gauge and then about 5 days later it happened again. I manged to fix it once again and now it's doing it more often. I've had the altanator checked, battery checked, and I've had the codes pulled on it and there is no codes on it.

The abs light has been one for quite some time many months, maybe a year. The brake light intermittently been on or gone off, but has been on for some time - the last 6-8 months. We have a known brake oil leak, as we have seen the puddles and frequently refill it. This is very similar to the Ford recall 09s09 but our VIN # is not presently included. On 8/21 the all of the internal gauges "went wonky" and then stopped indicating anything (speedometer at 0, even though I was driving down the highway at 50-60 mph. This "wonky issue" has been present since the spring of 2014. Also, the cruise control has not worked for a few months (about the same time we first noticed the "wonky gauges" which used to always accompany a rapid acceleration) since the last week, the gauges are "going wonky" on their own, even when I don't rapidly accelerate. We have read online about a brake oil leak affecting the scds and our issues seem very similar to those described in a recall! to recap, the "wonky gauges" have been an issue since Feb/March but was only observed when depressing the gas pedal. Now, since a much more severe episode on 8/21/2014 the gauges are acting up even at slower speeds, the gauges are "going out" and not registering anything at all for 10-15 minute stretches. A/c, radio, clock, windows, turn signals stop working. And abs/brake lights are illuminated. Thank you for your consideration!.

The instrument cluster gauges start dancing back and forth, then the tach gauge maxed out and stuck under the shift indicator. I went to a Ford dealer in fort wayne in. And they removed the cluster and broke off part of the tach needle so it cant become stuck again. Still to this day (a year later) the gauges start dancing and sometimes freeze in a position. Once it showed I was doing 80 mph while stopped at a stop light. Some days they work then other times they dont. I recently found out this is a common problem with Ford Windstars. Look up dancing gauges Windstar on utube and see all the issues people show. If this is such a big issue why isnt something being done about it? respectfully, keith coyne.

I never knew about Ford's recalls until last March. Before calling Ford I did research and found numerous people have the same problems as me. Mine started in 2012 when out of the blue the front windows would no longer open. Next when you tried to put the heat on in the rear there was strange noise and now I'm to afraid to use it. The past 3 yrs the gauges go haywire. Sometimes if you hit the dash it'll stop but locks up and you don't know what your speed is. If I leave it alone sometimes it will stop on it's own but locks up to wherever it stops at. On numerous occasions the abs light will come on. For over 2 yrs now the check engine light has been on. I had it checked & was told it was the O2 sensors for which I replaced, 3 days later the engine light came back on again they said it was the O2 sensors. In the past 2 1/2 yrs I've had to replace the battery because while driving the battery light will come on. If I accelerate it goes off but nobody knows why the battery keeps dying. Some say its an electrical problem draining the battery. The interior lights will come on for no reason so I had them removed as I thought it might be draining the battery. Last summer out of the blue the a/c started making a noise and just quit just like a month ago I heard this clicking noise only to find out I had no heat. I spoke to Ford about the gauges, the electrical problems, the a/c and some of the other issues and their response was it wasn't on their recall list and would only fix the rear axle, cruise control and the front if there was anything wrong. When I mentioned all the info I found on NHTSA's site about this vehicle I was told they have no control over what is fixed. I am disabled and am living in a place for the homeless & with all these problems how does Ford expect me to fix their defects? every time I have to drive which isn't often I pray I make it to & from safely.

The abs and red brake light as well as the traction control light, and now my battery light come on and off intermittently. The abs system kicks in at unnecessary times making it difficult to stop. The speedometer is now also bouncing up and down intermittently, but no other gauges seem to be affected.
