During the winter months our 2004, Ford, e150, van has had occasional yet complete brake failure several times. Typically, it has happened when it was very cold -10f and typically slower speeds 10-15mph but today it was 30 f and speeds were 45-50 mph as we were coming down a mountain pass in colorado. We almost rear ended a semi and almost took another car head on but they had moved into the far lane. Before reaching the brake failure run off we were able to down shift and eventually the brakes came back to complete working order. The van has been brought in several times to Ford dealership and each time same answer, we can't reproduce the problem so they haven't done anything.
