I'm driving my car and all of a sudden the speedometer and odometer go out at same time then the (abs) light comes on and stays there!!!! My parents bought this for us as a gift for the baby because our accent is too small for 3 kids!!! i need to find someone to fix the darn thing at least my dad had enough foresight to buy us an after market warranty... except i can't find anyone to fix electrical problems in Vegas using the warranty yet!!!!

Not that bad but no AC in Florida kinda sucked. But thanks to the good oh internet I fixed it with a singal fuse.

WELL, TO TELL THE TRUTH I'M NOT ACTUALLY SATISFIED W/MY VAN... I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST OR FAR ANYTHING IS ANYMORE BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER JUST QUIT... THE DEALER SAID VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR $52.00 REPLACED @ HOME NOT AN EASY PROCESS DID NOT FIX THEN THEY TELL US ITS TRANS RANGE SENSOR $51.00 BUT THEY SAID HATE FOR TO SPEND THAT MONEY IT NOT FIX IT SO WHAT DO YOU DO? DON'T BUY A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR STICK TO OLDER MODELS WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY REPAIR THEM.....

The battery died so I replaced it and I found the alternator not charging so I replaced it as well. The speedometer and odometer are displaying half of actual which was the case before the battery died.
Update from Jul 16, 2012: Odometer reads half of actual distance eg: travel 20 miles actual, odometer records 10 miles. Speedometer shows 25 mph while traveling 55 mph.
Also before I replaced the battery and the alternator these things occurred, plus the door locks were opening and closing while driving.
