| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Left and right front abs stators have cracks which are clearly visible. this causes the abs system to activate on a low speed stop. at about 40 mph the abs light comes on and the system doesn't work.the brakes work in regular mode.this was discovered on 6/21/05 but had been happening . mechanic changed an abs sensor wire with a cut in it . had to look further to find cracked stators.mechanic said that the ford dealership he called admitted there was a problem with some models,cracked stators on windstars,offered no solution. i called my ford dealer and was not helped .a part like this bears no weight and should not be failing.the cracks make the computer think there is a reason to activate and then at 40mph to shut down.the rear stators were not checked for cracks yet. thank you |
