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.

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.
