2004 Ford Windstar Brakes Problems

“Purchased the car used on 5/26/12, drove away from the dealership and the ABS warning light and the break warning lights both came on, indicating issues with ABS. Took it to the repair shop and was told that the ABS module (??) was causing the issues. Car dealership and warranty company refused to cover it because it's an optional system. There appears to have been a recall for this but for some reason my car wasn't included - it was originally purchased in canada, so I'm not sure if that effects recall information. …”

“- the contact stated that while driving heard a noise from the brakes the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, who repaired the brakes by sanding down the rotors. The dealer told the contact that Ford has changed the materials that were used to make the rotors. Also, the dealer told the contact that this failure occurred because he didn't drive the vehicle often. Updated 1/30/2007 -”

“The contact owns a 2004 Ford Windstar. While driving 40 MPH, the contact noticed that the vehicle was leaking brake fluid. The failure caused fuses to blow out in the cruise control and ABS modules. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired; however, the ABS module still needs to be replaced. The current mileage was 209,000 and failure mileage was 159,000.”
