While coming to a slow stop down a small incline, i heard a loud pop, and the car started to roll forward. In order to stop the vehicle, the pedal had to be pressed and excessive amount towards the floor. Pedal travel continues to be excessive with no brake warning light on, and vehicle jerks slightly to the left during the initial portion of a stop.

My mechanic informed me that this is typically a part that should not fail with this few miles and was suspicious when he called the local ford dealer and they had over 10 in stock. He informed me that in his 20+ years he has not seen dealers have that many high dollar parts in stock and advised i file a…

Car brakes are squishy and pedal is easily pushed to floor when braking at high speed or in panic stop. Feels like the brake booster is not operating properly. Took to ford and they advised it was operating properly. Still does not feel right and takes too long to stop.

Like other documented complaints, i too found that, in a situation where sudden braking is required, i experienced total brake failure. Normal braking on roads and streets has not resulted in brake failure for me; however, in the one situation where sudden braking was required, my…

Brake caliper slide will freeze up and grind on brakes and rotors. New brakes and pads were put on 1 year ago and the left rear caliper has completely frozen up. From doing online research this is a severe problem with this make and model and should be investigated. *tr

I had my brakes flushed and brake fluid added. The brakes were good for about two weeks and then they again went to the floor. I took them into a brake shop and they did a reverse bleed, checked my pads, my abs system, my…
