| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 ford freestar minivan. This august my instrument panel quit working. I took it to the dealership and was advised that my abs module failed and as a result it melted my wire harness. I just discovered that ford previously had this problem with their windstars. I'd like this to be looked into as this is a hefty repair ($3,000. 00 +) that i cannot afford. As a result, i am driving in a vehicle with no abs and no working instrument panel - including speedometer. Thank you. |
