Description of the problem	Within the first year of owning this vehicle, we experienced intermittent problems with accelerating after a stop (either at a stop sign or red light or pulling out of a driveway). The traction control light would flash, and the van would not accelerate beyond 10-15 mph despite depressing the gas pedal to the floor. The only way to resolve the problem was to shut the vehicle down and start it again which clears the computer. There were several instances when we lost power while entering an intersection and were almost hit by other vehicles. We took the vehicle to two ford dealerships, neither of which found an error code or could replicate the problem. There was no rhyme or reason as to when or where the problem would occur. It may happen twice in one week or six months could pass without an issue. We were finally forced to sue ford under pennsylvania lemon law. Approximately a year after the van was out of warranty, the van failed to accelerate while pulling out of my daughter's daycare. I drove to the ford dealership at 10 mph and left it running. The traction control light stayed illuminated for once, and a mechanic was able to pull an error code for a faulty abs sensor. I called ford corporate from the dealership and had them pull up the vehicle records. To their credit, they agreed to pay the $1200 bill for the abs sensor and another part related to the problem. I drove the van for another year and a half with no other abs problems. An employee at the dealership advised me that when no error codes appear during diagnostic testing, ford will not pay the dealership to troubleshoot. Therefore, there is no incentive for the dealership to put any effort into fixing a problem... It just costs them money.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
