Approximately every 15,000 to 20,000 miles I need to replace the front rotors and pads. The rotors are badly warpped. The dealer replaced the calipers, but that did not help. The rear drums are original equipment and has little wear. I have paid to have the rear drums adjusted regularly, in an attempt to improve the longevity of the front breaks. I have about 140,000 miles on the car and replace the front brakes 7 or 8 times. I did have one accident due to poor breaking, and the next day needed to replace the front pads and rotors.

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?

When applying front brakes vehicle vibrates, causing a loss of vehicle control.dealer has turned rotors and replaced pads. Defect is still occurring.
