- Elk Grove, CA, USA
Brakes failed (when my wife was driving with our 6 year old son with her) with no warning, pedal went to floor and only slowed the van when your foot was all the way down. Brought it to two Ford dealers before they diagnosed that the ABS/hcu is not working, replacement part and labor is est. At $1,400. Out of my pocket, plus I have been without vehicle for 3 weeks and counting, and had to have it towed. Also the first local garage replaced the master cyl in an attempt to fix it another $300.

ABS light came on, went to the dealer, dealer replaced the left front wheel speed sensor and reset the ABS module. Two days later ABS light back on at 60 mph. Dealer says now the module that was reset is burned out. Wants to charge $531 plus labor to replace. If the module was reset, how did they not know the module was burned out the first time?

- San Antonio, TX, USA
While driving approximately at any speed and applying the brake pedal, the brakes take longer to stop, and there's too much play on the brake pedal.
- Rockville, MD, USA
Ford told me tsb's were only to help mechanics to solve problems that they know exists, but that they don't give me any right unless I purchased their extended warranty coverage. Don't consumers have any rights? I bought this van because it got 5 stars in crash tests. I didn't know it would first inactivate the ABS by losing its sensor. Then another sensor would go, causing the van to downshift to low 1 when you were driving 55 miles an hour down the road. They should stand by their product. My van also clunks when I take it out of park. I refuse to pay my dealer any more money for something that I think that they should fix. I spent $140 to find out my ABS sensor was defective, another $90 to have it replaced. Then another $95 to have the sensor replaced in the transmission.
