No problems on my 1994 other than leaks which were repaired under warranty.

150,159 miles and still going, even without the accumulator piston change out. Although it could use them I guess. Good luck on getting Ford to fix it.

Yes, we talk about that a lot on the Toyota newsgroup. Dad, however, takes all 3 of his vehicle on the manufacturers service intervals. He bought it pre-owned with 19,000 miles and of course you never know how owner #1 treated it in that short interval.
