While driving back from rome ga to cartersville ga my van made a funny noise and my speed dropped from 60 to 50 and then my back tires felt funny like I had run over something but I know I had not hit any thing so as I got closer to the exit then my ABS light came on. After I stopped at a station I checked my brake fluid but it was full, I checked my tires they where good because they are new. When I got home I had my breaks & plugs checked and they are good. I don't know what else to do. The ABS light is still on, while driving my van still lose speed on hills and level ground. Help me please this is my only way to get where I need to go.

My speedometer and odometer stopped working a couple of days ago on my 1995 ford windstar. I got on the internet and found the recall having to do with the ABS brake light. I understand that my car could catch fire when unattended. We have been losing brake fluid for some time. When the area in question for the recall under the brake master cylinder was inspected, there was indeed fluid leaking. We have also had an ABS light on the dash lighting for some time. My husband has just been adding brake fluid, but now the light doesn't even light. I don't know about the cruise control not working. My mechanic will look at it before ford does.

The ABS module fail and the car brakes lock up and cant drive the car. And it is to expensive to fix. Seems to be a manufacture problem.

Dt: the consumer states on her 1995 ford windstar, there was the federal safety agency recall 01i007000 on the front coil springs. The spring on the passenger front broke when turning and caused the tire to blow out. The vehicle was towed at that time to a mechanic, and they informed the consumer about the recall. When she called ford, they told her it was too late, that because the vehicle was originally bought in 1994 the warranty ran out. When she purchased the vehicle, in 2003, she received no notice there was a recall. Ford did not even have her as the current owner of the vehicle. The mechanic did find that the driver's side coil was broke. The tire was damaged, and there were no injuries.*ak the consumer stated she has been having problems with the ABS since 2003.

When I start my ford windstar my brakes are hard to push down on until my ABS light comes on then my brakes are fine I was told by a repair man from a ford dealer said that the light is not suppose to be on. I ask other owners of ford windtars that range from 1995 to 2001 they say their ABS lights come on too.
