What owners say
While driving at approximately 40 MPH, the driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor, and heard a popping sound. The brake line ruptured and fluid had leaked everywhere. The owner took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, and was informed that they see quite a bit of these ford vehicles with the same defect. *ak *sc
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.
When the brakes were applied during a panic stop the brake pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance, and blowing the vacuum on the master cylinder. Vehicle is being repaired by dealer.
