IT COST A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE FIXED IT SEEMS THAT THERE MAY BE A DESIGN DEFECT OR NOT THE RIGHT TYPE OF PART INSTALLED BECAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG FOR THE VAN TO COME TO A STOP WITH SPEEDS UNDER 25 MPH. *CB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LATE 2001 AND HAS BEEN IN 6 TIMES FOR NEW ROTORS AND BREAKS DUE TO VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. FORD HAS COVERED IT SO FAR, AND THE DEALERSHIP JUST TELLS ME THAT BECAUSE THE VAN IS HEAVY IN THE FRONT THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE.

AFTER REQUESTING THAT THE VEHICLE HAVE A FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECK, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE BALL-JOINTS WERE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. JOINTS WERE REPLACED UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ON 07/2002, BUT ALIGNMENT WAS CHARGED TO ME. NOW THE VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HARD DRIFT TO RIGHT (AT 55MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE ENOUGH OF DRIFT TO CHANGE ONE FULL LANE IN 5 SECONDS) WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE BALL JOINTS WERE BAD AGAIN, AND WERE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT DRIFTING WAS NORMAL FOR VANS. *LA
