31000 mi US $650	Replace three rear ignition coils.

62000 mi C $650	Replaced PCV hose

78500 mi US $200	erratic idle, down on full throttle power. Replaced faulty PCV hose and valve. As a preventative maintenance I removed and replaced all spark plugs and COPs.
89000 mi US $75	When I previously replaced all COP and spark plugs I used cheap parts off Amazon. Don't do it. I basically had to re-accomplish all work with genuine OEM parts to correct reoccurring drivability hiccups. This van is ignition sensitive.
92000 mi	Front timing chain cover and oil pan develop leaks. It is a labor intensive repair. Estimates about $1,300. I first tried engine seal "stop leak" products with poor results. A telltale sign of burning oil accompanies this ford sourced duratech V6 defect.
93400 mi	Water pump developed leaks around the housing. Replaced it along with the short elbow bypass hose that connects the water pump to the coolant passages in the valley under the lower intake.

139049 mi US $221	Typical ignition coils which go bad, PCV, and spark plugs
143247 mi US $243	Transmission and engine mounts
151970 mi	Timing cover leak, given $1100 estimate. Added STP stop leak instead and park over plastic area because it drips 2 drops of oil after driving. Oil usage minimal--about 0.5 quarts per 3000 miles. An annoyance as it smells slightly of burning oil when parking.

180000 mi US $180	Coolant line
221000 mi US $140	Coil pack.

69000 mi US $256	the car was intermittently hesitating, not running smoothly. it was a post-ignition problem. Spark plugs and some sensors had to be replaced.

45900 mi US $350	#3 coil and spark plug
63000 mi US $911	replace #4,5,6, plugs and coils

50300 mi US $40	Cooling system fan module failed and cooling fan kept coming on more and more when not needed. Seems this is a common failure. I bought a replacement module on eBay for $40. Dealer wanted $130 for the part. Took 15 minutes to replace it.
63300 mi US $90	The $40 eBay fan module failed in about 30 days. I found a OEM version for $90, installed it in 15 minutes and it works as it should.
69000 mi US $100	#3 ignition misfire. Replaced all 6 coils and spark plugs.
