“1995 Ford e150 based conversion van has had the braking systems/ABS hydraulic control unit replaced twice in less than 83000 miles. Both replacements were done at Ford dealers and copies of both invoices can be provided. Since this failure disables the ABS system and produces a hopping in the rear wheels I think this is a hazard that need to be looked into.”

NHTSA complaint #10292056, filed 2009-11, 900 miles“Vehicle was looked at 4 times during the warranty period and since then I have worked on it myself, every 6,to 7000 miles the same thing shows up again, the yellow warning light will come on , if you shut the engine down the light will go out sometimes it will come back on during the remainder of the trip sometimes it will not. It happens after I have been on the road about 200 miles , I talked to numerous other Ford rv owners who have had the similiar problem. Ford should have a recallon these sensors.”
