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. WHO CAN AFFORD A $600.00 BRAKE JOB EVERY 4 TO 5 MONTHS? *LA

MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PER FORD SCHEDULE, AND PERFORMED BY THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH DID THE STATE INSPECTION WHICH LEAD TO THE PART REPLACEMENTS. WHILE FORD DID CONTRIBUTE ABOUT 40% TOWARDS THE WORK, IT SEEMS SUSPENSION AND STEERING PARTS WEARING OUT SO PREMATURELY IS A DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE CONCIDERED FOR RECALL. PURSUING FURTHER WITH FORD ONLY RESULTED IN PHONE CALL CLAIMING THAT THE WEAR RATE WAS NOT UNUSUAL.*AK
