My ABS light started to flash and is now on constant,my brakes work but not the greatest. My air bag light will start to flash and then come on constant once the vehicle is shut off and restarted the light usually stays off but will do this at random. I have had on several occasions where I hear a popping noise in the front end while making turns. We have replaced most of the front end and still have the issue. I also have a problem with it idling real fast then down to nothing it bucks and sputters when plugged into a computer it says the vehicle runs lean so we replaced the o2 sensors and things and it did not help. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle at all most of the time however I need to get to and from work and the scary part is I have to haul my children and the elderly person I care for around it . Very disappointed ford[xx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

A multiple of times (approx 4) have taken my ford windstar into the dealer to have the air bag system malfunction repaired. The problem still exists with the airbag light on the dashboard continuing to glow. I can't remember the first incident when I took it into future ford of roseville but it has been at least 4 years ago.
The air bag light came on and remained on. Consumer will make contact with the dealer and manufacturer to determine the cause.
