About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
While backing up into parking space, when I stepped on brake pedal, the brakes did not grab. It seemed like the van started to accelerate. I squeezed brake pedal very hard and I heard ABS clicking. I still didn't stop so I had to shift car into park. This happened twice to me. The first time was about 3 months earlier.

This is to report a continual problem I have had with this van. It is not uncommon. I have talked to over 30 Ford van owners with similar complaints. Front brakes develop an incurable "shimmy" and premature wear causing minor drivability problems and also excessive rear brake wear. In my case, rear brakes were prematurely worn to the point that ABS engaged and created further "pulsing". this has been explained as Ford problem with calipers to Ford problem with ABS on late model vans. Ford refuses to acknowledge possibility of a problem. Five brake repairs in 30,000 miles would indicate the possibility exists and is also dangerous. Have you had any complaints similar to this one?

Tried to stop and vehicle went through intersection. After several brake attempts the brakes worked again. Happens when vehicle sits in rain for several hours. This is about the 10th time this has happened.

While traveling at any speed and when depressing the brake pedal, steering wheel would sway left to right, causing consumer to fight with steering wheel. Dealer has been notified. Consumer wants to be reimbursed for the repairs, but dealer says that there is nothing they can do.

While driving down freeway about 70mph traffic slowed down. Consumer applied brakes and got down to 20mph when vehicle started free wheeling. ABS locked up, and neither airbag deployed. Didn't contact dealer.

Motor acts like it is choking and won't take gas. It sometimes dies and have to restart. Vehicle sometimes dies when slowing down to turn at intersection, causing you to stop in middle of traffic. Brakes are not good. When applied hard they vibrate very bad.
