THE FIRE WAS CONTAINED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE DOORS WERE OPEN AND THE FIRE BACKDRAFTED THROUGH THE AIRCONDITIONING VENTS IN THE FRONT OF VEHICLE AND SWEPT TO THE REAR. IN LOOKING THROUGH SOME INFO I HAVE READ ABOUT ABOUT FUEL LINES LEAKING IN THE ECONLINE VANS. I WOULD LIKE THIS FIRE INVESTIGATED. MY VAN WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.*AK
SERIOUS PROBLEM OF LACK OF CONTROL DUE TO DEFECTIVE GEAR BOX. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE TIRES, WE REPLACED THE TIRES, TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE LIKE A BOAT.
MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES SPLIT APART AND BROKE OFF WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE VAN BEING BOUGHT. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERIOR LATCHES WHICH OPEN THE SIDE AND REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE CRACKED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES COST $95.00 EACH (ACCORDING TO JOHNSON FORD). JOHNSON FORD ALSO TOLD ME THAT YOU CANNOT BUY THE INTERIOR LATCHES WITHOUT BUYING THE ENTIRE DOOR ASSEMBLY ($128.00 EACH). WHEN I COMPLAINED TO JOHNSON FORD, THEY SIMPLY SAID THAT THAT WAS THE PRICE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO FORD, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY APPRECIATED MY INPUT. MEANWHILE, MY WIFE AND I TRANSPORT OURSELVES AND OUR…

ABS LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY- ON 2 OCCASIONS, BRAKE PEDAL WAS ROCK HARD, WHEELS LOCKED UP, NO STEERING OR BRAKING ABILITY, SLIDES FORWARD UNTIL YOU LET UP ON PEDAL (THIS IS ON SNOW COVERED ROADS). DEALER CHECKED WHEN LIGHT OFF- SHOWED NOTHING. SAID TO CHECK AGAIN WHILE LIGHT IS ON. SAID THEY SUSPECT IT'S A PART THAT REGULATES THE HYDRAULICS TO THE BRAKES. *AK
CONSUMER PUT ON BRAKES AFTER SOMEONE PULLED IN FRONT. CONSUMER FELT METAL ON METAL AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR. TOOK TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID BRAKE ROTORS/PADS, AND SHOES WERE ALL WARPED. THIS HAPPENED EVERY 18 MONTHS. MECHANIC SAID THE CALIPERS THAT WERE MADE BY FORD WERE BAD BY DESIGN, THE PLASTIC THAT WAS OVER THE PISTONS, STUCK/HEATUP AND WARPED THE ROTORS AND WORE DOWN THE BRAKES.AK
FRONT ROTORS, CALIPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN 55,000 MI, ROTORS BADLY CRACKED IN EXACT SAME SPOT ON BOTH OCCASIONS, ABS LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY.*ET
