While applying the brakes to park the car the was a loud rifle shot sound, flash and vehicle jolt from under the hood. and the break warning light came on. during repair the mechanic found that the problem was the with the master cylinder cruse control cancelling switch. the switch blew apart and ignited the atomized break fluid that was expelled from the master cylinder. fortunately the exploding break fluid self extinguished avoiding an engine compartment fire. since the triggering of this event was the act of applying the brakes it was only by chance that it didn't happen at highway speeds. the event totally disabled the front brakes and at highway speeds the brake fluid mist would have likely ignited further back in the engine compartment or under the chassis. there have been numerous recalls of ford products over a 20+ year period for this switch component causing both fires and deaths but this vehicle's s/n was not on the list for getting notified. looks like someone didn't do their "homework" on this one, I am not sure this vehicle IS safe to drive. I have the repair bill for the replacement work and the gentleman showed me the blown out shell of the switch. I picked up one of the parts from our parking slab. I have notified ford by email.

I had to replace all 5 tires within 2 years of my vehicle purchase. The new tires are now just over 2 1/2 years old. One blew out on a residential street while going 35 miles/hour. The 2ND tire replaced was also separating and causing the van to vibrate just as the first one so I took it in 6 weeks after the first blowout. Leaving the tire store my van IS still vibrating and now I notice the 3RD tire IS buckling on the outside wall. The 4TH tire does not appear to have any major issue yet. The 5TH IS my spare-never used. Discount said they wouldn't replace the 2 front tires until they had the same issue as the rear tires, without cost to me. These tires are from the same lot #s. They should all be replaced before accidents, or worse, occurs. All tires were michelin ltx m/s lt225/75 R16. *tr

My agency operates 7D vehicles that transport young children. the seats in which we must place rear-facing infant car seats do not allow us to properly secure the car seat. there IS one tether installed on the back of the seat and 2 installed where the cushions meet. the strap that IS supposed to clip to the tether on the back of the seat IS too short for rear facing car seats. the car seat can be secured using the side tethers, but the inability to secure to the rear tether results in the car seat moving forward & backward. if there were a front-on collision, the infant's head would thrust forward. I am not sure if this IS a problem with the vehicle design or the car seat. (related vehicle information: model year=2008, make=ford, model=econovan E150). *Tr
