2005 Ford Freestyle 4dr Wagon

203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD

62000 mi

US $271
Dealer said the ABS light on and left front ABS part failure was causing the recenly fixed AWD to default to FWD. Never heard of such a thing but replacing it did solve the problem. 
116000 mi

US $381
Replaced parking brake pedal assembly to resolve damaged ratchet mechanism that would not engage. Replaced right parking brake cable. Parking brake had been replaced separately a day or two earlier, after being broken for better part of a year, and when it was engaged for the first time in months, the cable stuck, causing the right rear brake to drag.
