problem #1

Dec 081997

Windstar

  • miles
Norm conditions 20 mph stop ABS engaged, delayed stop. Near accident. Dealer found no problem, not repeatable. One year later problem recurred, and ABS light illuminated. Dealer to replace left wheel sensor. Seems that if the on-board computer doesn't think there is a problem, the technicians cannot find it. Sensors could have been replaced earlier as a precaution. Other problem- driving 55 on highway and transmission downshifted uncommanded. Check engine light had been illuminated since earlier incident with the dealer unable to diagnose. Sensor in gear selector was bad. Hopefully, no undue wear and tear on transmission resulted from the highway downshift.
