| Tl*the contact owns a 1992 ford econoline. after starting the vehicle, the water pump began leaking fluid. the labor cost for the repair was $100. while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal. the pedal extended to the floor and made it very difficult to stop the vehicle. while the mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, he observed an incomplete sticker inside the door by the manufacturer in 1992. the contact was concerned that the sticker indicated that there were some parts on the vehicle that were not completely installed. the contact stated that the front end also needed to be aligned. the vehicle was purchased 1 year ago. the current and failure mileages were 187,000. updated 06/16/08 *bf | |||
