The electrical has been wiggy ever since --just after the factory warranty ran out. This includes: back-up safety sensors stopped working, heated drivers seat stopped working(passenger still works), the stereo system doesn't have all of it's functions, passenger airbag light is on, van very noisy when backing up--we call it the moose. Had to replace transmission and then we get re-call notice! and, it still doesn't feel 100% still waiting for a refund(?) brakes are squishy--even after replacement of front end everything! side electric doors will sometimes open and close several times until we just have to manually force them to stay closed.
Within the first year of owning this vehicle, we experienced intermittent problems with accelerating after a stop (either at a stop sign or red light or pulling out of a driveway). The traction control light would flash, and the van would not accelerate beyond 10-15 mph despite depressing the gas pedal to the floor. The only way to resolve the problem was to shut the vehicle down and start it again which clears the computer. There were several instances when we lost power while entering an intersection and were almost hit by other vehicles. We took the vehicle to two Ford dealerships, neither of which found an error code or could replicate the problem. There was no rhyme or reason as to when or where the problem would occur. It may happen twice in one week or six months could pass without an issue. We were finally forced to sue Ford under pennsylvania lemon law. Approximately a year after the van was out of warranty, the van failed to accelerate while pulling out of my daughter's daycare. I drove to the Ford dealership at 10 mph and left it running. The traction control light stayed illuminated for once, and a mechanic was able to pull an error code for a faulty abs sensor. I called Ford corporate from the dealership and had them pull up the vehicle records. To their credit, they agreed to pay the $1200 bill for the abs sensor and another part related to the problem. I drove the van for another year and a half with no other abs problems. An employee at the dealership advised me that when no error codes appear during diagnostic testing, Ford will not pay the dealership to troubleshoot. Therefore, there is no incentive for the dealership to put any effort into fixing a problem. . . It just costs them money.
