#1. the transmission-has been replaced 3 time and is for it again M aking it 4 times.the dealer is replacing the O riginal transmission with defective rebuilt transmissions. When the van was less tha N three months old I took it in because the transmission was rough going into 2nd.I w a S told that that is normal it shifts hard.Y et before the last 3 transmission went out the shifts were smooth, explain that. #2.the brakes.have been in 5 times for the same thing the peddle goes to the floor and the the brakes are really loose, after taking the vanin for service on the brakes they seem to work fine for about the time it takes to pull into our driveway and then they go back to the peddleon the floor.I was advised to use the emergency brake that that reset the brakes(duh).I have let it go but(I have a fractured neck and am deathly afarid that the brakes will fail and have instructed my family to contact lawyers/&Ford in case I die due to brake failure ) I know the brakes are still not accepltable, but what can I do ?oh yeah after one time I took the van in for the brakes I almost crashed into the car in front of me because I stepped on the brakes and they didn't engage right away...F=fix, O=or, R=repair, D=daily this is what Ford stands for to me.
