Braking distance suddenly increased.

- Long Valley, NJ, USA

All the time when I'm driving the ABS/brake light stays on, the vehicle does not stop properly. The #10 and 15 fuse blows out regularly and causes the air, odometer, overdrive to not work. I smell burning electricity, and see smoke coming from hood while driving. Some morning my van doesn't start due to battery drainage. Check engine light will not stay off causing it not pass inspection. Brake fluid leaking. I truly believe that the brake fluid leak is causing these problems, and it looks like I'm not the only person. With the speed control recall the ABS module and ECM needed to be included.

The ABS and brake dash warning lights intermittently come on, especially after the vehicle warms up or I hit a puddle and water splashes underneath. This has been going on for years. Firestone has inspected the vehicle multiple times and cannot find anything wrong. They are again suggesting to flush the brake system and do an engine diagnostic (again at cost of $200). While there has been no crash or damage I am in constant fear that there will be as the brakes might fail but I'd never know it since the warning lights are almost always on and repair work hasn't been able to turn them off.

Braking distance suddenly increased, under category: Service brakes, hydraulic. My brake light and ABS light comes on. According to the mechanic I had the sensor replaced in this unit, and not sure what they fixed the second time. Both mechanics told me I was leaking brake fluid too, I have not been able to add brake fluid myself, I can't reach the reservoir. Brake and ABS lights still comes on and very seldom does the lights go off. I had to have a vehicle inspection this past year, and the first time it did not pass because the light was on. Thankfully the second time I went in for the inspection it was not on. However, I am concerned with this years inspection.

2002 Ford Windstar. ABS and brake light continually on. Braking distance substantially increased..I feel it is very unsafe as I Transport 3 young children. I recently had this vehicle in for the rear axle recall and was given a rental minivan. The braking on that van was very much better than on my van. I am worried. Ford dealer told me he wouldn't fix without recall number. I would like to know when this will be issued. Please help.

- Clark, NJ, USA

I took my van in to do the recalls. Well they said they saw nothing wrong with the most last 2 recent recalls. 2010 and 2011 dealing with front end and rear end. My question is if it doesn't look broken they don't have to fix it" I thought these parts were manufactured wrong, right? now how often should I take my van in to be inspected" at any given moment it could break and my 4 kids and I could go tumbling down the highway. They did do the speed odometer (which I'm watching closely for ABS/brake light to come on) and in process for child safety attachments. The anderson Ford dealership in cleveland tx will not do the other 2 recalls because it does not look broken, is this right? anyways ABS/brake light remains on and off all the time on my Ford Windstar. Will have it check for brake fluid leakage running down to components.
