HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE LATE 2001 WITHIN 5 MONTHS HAD TO BE TAKEN IN FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS DUE TO VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. SINCE THEN THE VAN HAS HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED ONCE A YEAR WITH THEM BEING TURNED TWICE. BRAKE PADS ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 5 TO 6 MONTHS. I HAVE CALLED FORD EACH TIME AS WELL AS THE DEALER. BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY HAVE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I DON'T PULL ANYTHING WITH MY VAN AND I AM NOT HARD ON THE BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE FRONT END IS HEAVY.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LATE 2001 AND HAS BEEN IN 6 TIMES FOR NEW ROTORS AND BREAKS DUE TO VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. FORD HAS COVERED IT SO FAR, AND THE DEALERSHIP JUST TELLS ME THAT BECAUSE THE VAN IS HEAVY IN THE FRONT THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. WHO CAN AFFORD A $600.00 BRAKE JOB EVERY 4 TO 5 MONTHS?
