Ford refuses to acknowledge that there is an inherrent design fault with the 1995 braking system. I have had the brakes and calipers replaced approx every 8,000 miles since new and now that the vehicle is out of warranty, I am told that I have to drive with it or replace the van. Ford should be accountable for design flaws.
