MY SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO ON MY 1995 FORD WINDSTAR. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY CAR COULD CATCH FIRE WHEN UNATTENDED. WE HAVE BEEN LOSING BRAKE FLUID FOR SOME TIME. WHEN THE AREA IN QUESTION FOR THE RECALL UNDER THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS INSPECTED, THERE WAS INDEED FLUID LEAKING. WE HAVE ALSO HAD AN ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH LIGHTING FOR SOME TIME. MY HUSBAND HAS JUST BEEN ADDING BRAKE FLUID, BUT NOW THE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN LIGHT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING. MY MECHANIC WILL LOOK AT IT BEFORE FORD DOES. *TR

MY 1995 FORD WINDSTAR ENGINE HAS STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND ALSO WHEN COASTING WHILE DRIVING DOWN HILLS. IT ALSO STOPS WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

THE REAL DANGER HERE IS THAT AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO FAIL MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STEER AND STOP. ON A VERY TIGHT TURN I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
