What owners say
Abs warning light comes on during operation, no set pattern. I have had the vehicle serviced numerous times since it was new, each time it is ok for a short period of time, then the situation continues. I have spoken to several ford service managers, had the vehicle serviced last at magic city ford where several parts was replaced in an attemp to solve the problem. To this day the problem still exist. This is a very serious problem in that you can never tell if the ABS system is really failing or if this is a false alarm. Any assistance will be appreciated.
Failed ABS,diagnostic code c1206.
Abs brakes fail to work. Every time brakes are applied they do not grab. Have taken vehicle to dealer & informed the computer chip is defective and needs to be replaced.
