Description of the problem | The brake system has failures that can not be found by either a dealer service department or brake specialist. Have spent over $1500 trying to fix the brakes. What happens is that when brakes are depressed they rumble and jump and no brake to stop. Then brakes kick in and tires squeal from the quick stop. All windstars i have spoke to are having the same issue. This needs to be investigated, this is a car that families are traveling in. Children can and will be injured. Dt |
