I have 1999 Ford Windstar. I have had problems with the speedometer and the odometer, jumping I have no idea how fast I am going, now my gas hand and temp. Control is doing the same thing. It has been doing this for a year and half. I have had it to two different garages. No one can find the problem.

The rear axle cracked on my 1999 Ford Windstar while driving 20 mph on a city street. The axle had to be replaced. The car is being picked up tomorrow (Thursday August 19, 2010) and I will see if the broken axle is available.

This was a Ford 1999 Windstar recall on the ABS system. The recall stated that a fire may occur in connection with the ABS. I took the car in, however the brake fluid leak inside the car has gotten worse. From time to time the car smokes up, and there is a burning smell. The ABS light continues to come on. My fear is that this is still a hazard with all the flammable brake fluid in the car. I looked it up and others have called this problem "braking distance suddenly increased service brakes, hydraulic". brake fluid leaking into the car. This seems to occur constantly. I have cleaned my car with the thought that I spilled oil, however after reading up found out that this was the problem. When I took it in for the recall, this was not mentioned at all to me by the Ford dealer. I will be taking it to the dealer that fixed it to see what they will do or say. I guess I am wondering if there is anything else to do.

I bought my 99 Ford Windstar sel in March of this year (2006) and not even a week after I bought it when I would pull out from red lights or stop signs and the van would either die on me in the middle of the road or would continuously hesitate. I brought it back to the dealership and the first time they said that it was my keys so they reprogrammed my keys. Then it happened again as soon as I left the dealership, I brought it back a second time, they told me that they believed it had to do with my theft device. They assured me it was fixed then sent me home with it. A couple of days later it did the same thing again only this time every time I got in my van or closed my driver door from entering or exiting my van it would tell me on my message system that my driver door was ajar which lead to the interior lights being on. It did that the day I took it home from the dealership so I had to bring it back for a third time now for the re-occurring problem I was having and now with the door being said to be open. They finally said they found the problem and that Ford told them that there was a similar incident with another van like mine and said that they had to replace the cip sycronizor. I was able to take my van home again and they problem had been fixed all except the message I still get to this day about my driver door being ajar when it isn't. it didn't do it to me before I took it to the dealership and now they won't fix it when it was a result from them having it. Keep in mind each of the 3 times I had to take it in I had to leave it with them for 1-3 days each time! no loan car was offered to me so I was left with no car and I have 3 small children that I have to care for and need transportation for.
