Braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer replaced brake calipers and front disc rotors 3 times. Also, wiring harness in the steering column burned out(ignition), causing a fire. In addition, bolt that holds driver's seat to the floor came out which could cause the driver's seat to move unexpectedly. Please provide further information.

Transmission and brake failure/lock-up on a vehicle that has been "babyed" and meticulously maintained is outrageous. I cannot get ford motor co. To return my calls. I can only imaginr what kind of horrific accident would have occurred if we had been driving at highway speeds. Dealer's shop also had a 95, 97, & 98 crown vics. W/ transmission failure. I suspect ford is trying to cover up a defect.
