1997 Ford E-150 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This vehicle has been hard on front brakes and rotors form the time we bought it. Now the ABS isn't working properly in my opinion. On wet or snow covered roads at 15 MPH or less the brakes lock up and you can't control the vehicle. After several trips to a ford dealership service center, they tell me that there is nothing wrong and that the brakes are working properly. This vehicle is unsafe to drive in wet or slippery conditions. Could you please help me out? Thanks

When applying front brakes vehicle vibrates, causing a loss of vehicle control.dealer has turned rotors and replaced pads. Defect is still occurring.
