SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
09/28/2011106000
 This vehicle was part of a previous recall. all the ford dealer did was install a fusable link in the scds circuit to the abs brake unit. since that time, the abs brakes have become inoperable and will start pulsating while driving down the road. this causes dangerous driving conditions. we request that ford replace the defective scds switch, which they know is defective.

 Abs and trac off lights come on consistently during warm-weather months at speeds over 60mph. this means abs breaking is disabled until car is shut off and restarted. ford dealer was unable to reproduce the problem. issue common per the below link (see problem #2 section). http://www.fordwindstarrecall.info/
