I AM ONLY 4FT10IN. THE SEAT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD TO ADJUST TO MY HEIGHT. WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT WILL SUDDENLY FLY BACKWARDS. I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS ALSO MY SECOND FORD VAN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THER PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT. AT A COST OF OVER$ 2000 THIS IS A HAZARD THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

ABS BRAKES FAIL TO WORK. EVERY TIME BRAKES ARE APPLIED THEY DO NOT GRAB. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER & INFORMED THE COMPUTER CHIP IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MY PROBLEM ISN'T A SAFETY PROBLEM BUT I FEEL THAT WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES THE PAINT SHOULD NOT BE PEELING BACK ON THE ROOF! I WAS HOPING TO FIND OUT IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER PAINT SHOP THAT IT IS A PRIMER PROBLEM THAT FORD HAS....CAN YOU HELP ME FIND OUT? THANK YOU! LORI
