WHILE WE WERE DRIVING TO CHURCH THIS MORNING THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ON OUR WAY HOME FROM CHURCH, IT CAME ON AGAIN AND SO DID THE TRACK OFF LIGHT. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING THIS VAN ONLY HAS 151,000! *TR

ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. AUTOZONE FREE CHECK REPORTED CODE C1185 WHICH ACCORDING TO OTHER REPORTS FOUND ON THE INTERNET RELATES TO A BAD SOLDER JOINT ON THE ABS COMPUTER BOARD. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL/SPEEDOMETER FAILS VA INSPECTION. FORD WON'T FIX IT. PARTS HARD TO FIND AS ANYONE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE, RIM, AND ALL LUGNUTS JUST FLEW OFF. I WENT INTO A DITCH. MAJOR DAMAGE. I AM DISCOVERING THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VANS AND I PLAN TO SUE FORD. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER DASHBOARD GAUGES START JUMPING AROUND FROM ZERO TO WIDE OPEN, VERY ERRATIC AND THEN WILL SETTLE DOWN NORMAL, THEN START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN. UNABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. TACHOMETER IS ALSO INVOLVED AND OTHER GAUGES. *TR
