THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED (FOR $100) AT A LOCAL FORD DEALER AS A DEFECTIVE ABS ECU, WHICH COSTS APPROXIMATELY $750.00. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE PASSED THE 50,000-MILE MARK, AND EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED, IT HAD A FORD EXP WARRANTY TO 60,000 MILES. THE DEALER AND THE FORD REP I CONTACTED BOTH SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.   FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS REVEALED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES THAT MAY BE CAUSED BY A LEAKING PRESSURE SWITCH AT THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WHICH WICKS BRAKE FLUID DOWN TO THE ECU, CREATING A POSSIBLE SHORT CIRCUIT AND CHANCE FOR A FIRE. OTHERS SUGGEST THAT THE ECUS FAIL BECAUSE OF  DELAMINATION OF THE MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION RATES OF THE MATERIALS USED.   THE FAILURE OF THE ECU APPEARS TO STEM, IN EITHER CASE, FROM DESIGN FLAWS. THE ABS IS RENDERED INOPERATIVE IN BOTH CASES, CREATING AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY HAZARD IN THESE 4200-LB. FAMILY VEHICLES. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
