I own a 2000 ford windstar. I have recently had my ABS brake light go on and stay on, along with my traction control light also staying on and finally, my speedometer no longer works above 40 km per hour. All of these happened exactly the same time. I took it into ford and they are saying I need a new ABS module but after reading about their ABS recall issues and much written about how this problem is very common, I am inclined to think ford should fix this problem. Hence my complaint to you guys.

On 10/21/09, I had the sliding right passenger door actuator replaced. I had to wait to replace them due to financial reasons. Once, the passenger door went I knew that I couldn't hold off any longer. In all my driving years, I have never had to replace the actuators on any of my vehicles.

I purchased this vehicle about 2 years ago and began having problems right away. The ABS light comes on and goes off quite often. At about 125,000 miles I had problems with the brakes and could not drive the car. My o/d light also began to flash and my speedometer jumped up and down while I was driving. I took it to a shop and had to have a speed sensor replaced. A day later the problem happened again and I had to have the sensor replaced again. The ABS light began to come on again a few days later. Now I have a light on the panel (the master lighting switch). When I turn off the headlights and parking lights, the parking lights come back on. I used to be able to turn them off and sometimes they would stay off, but now I have to disconnect the battery every time I park and reconnect it to drive the car. Also, one by one, all of the power locks are going out. The only one that works correctly is the one for the rear door (trunk). The rear windows can open, but sometimes it takes days of trying before I can get them to close again.

Doors will not unlock via the fob or internal electronic controls due to bad lock actuators. Had drivers side door lock actuator replaced about 1 1/2 years ago (under extended warranty), but now both sliding doors have the same issue. The sliding doors to not have a keyed entry system so the doors must be unlocked from the inside by pulling up on the lock knob.
