I experienced brake problems on three separate occasions within a 12 hour period with my 22,000 mile 2000 Windstar. I smelled a burning plastic smell for approx 10 seconds and thought nothing of it. I then had difficulty during a normal stop when the disc brakes seemed to be experiencing ABS activity. The brake pedal wasn't fluttering like a normal ABS stop nor was their any moisture on the road. This happened again 10 minutes later. The next day as I was taking it to the shop I made a complete stop and a couple of seconds later the car started moving forward. My full pressure was on brakes and it wouldn't stop. I used the emergency brake to stop. There was no fluid missing from the brake master cylinder. The brake pedal didn't move deeper as I pressed the brake. The tach didn't increase RPM. The shop checked the ABS system and found nothing. There were no computer diagnostic codes found. They drove it 200 miles and couldn't replicate it.
