| 2002 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I TOOK MY VAN IN TO DO THE RECALLS. WELL THEY SAID THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOST LAST 2 RECENT RECALLS. 2010 AND 2011 DEALING WITH FRONT END AND REAR END. MY QUESTION IS IF IT DOESN'T LOOK BROKEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT? I THOUGHT THESE PARTS WERE MANUFACTURED WRONG, RIGHT? NOW HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE MY VAN IN TO BE INSPECTED? AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IT COULD BREAK AND MY 4 KIDS AND I COULD GO TUMBLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THEY DID DO THE SPEED ODOMETER (WHICH I'M WATCHING CLOSELY FOR ABS/BRAKE LIGHT TO COME ON) AND IN PROCESS FOR CHILD SAFETY ATTACHMENTS. THE ANDERSON FORD DEALERSHIP IN CLEVELAND TX WILL NOT DO THE OTHER 2 RECALLS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LOOK BROKEN, IS THIS RIGHT? ANYWAYS ABS/BRAKE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME ON MY FORD WINDSTAR. WILL HAVE IT CHECK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE RUNNING DOWN TO COMPONENTS. |
