Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle smelled like it was on fire up front in the engine compartment. The front tire were extremely hot. My wife did not have any brakes to amount to anything when she pressed the brake pedal to stop. The dealership stated that the brake master cylinder was bad. They replaced the brake master cylinder.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford expedition. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floor. On november 6, 2006, the contact was unable to engage the brakes and crashed into a vehicle. The contact was injured and the air bags deployed. There were no passengers in the vehicle at the time. The most recent failure occurred on june 1, 2007. The vehicle was repaired and most of the braking system was replaced. A month later the another crash occurred while driving 25mph and attempting to engage the brake pedal. There were no injuries. The total cost of repairs were $2,300. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic stability that takes over and it leaves the contact with no control of the braking system. The dealer stated that he was also unable to diagnose the recent failure and there were no indications from the computer codes. There were a total of 4 vehicles involved in the crash and 3 of them were damaged including the contacts vehicle. The current mileage was 19,783 and the failure mileage was 13,000.
Front rotors turned by dealer several weeks prior due to vibration when stopping. Same problem returned and dealer this time replaced rotors and calipers. Now brakes feel weak, and travel of pedal has increased before brakes engage. Dealer claims this is within normal operation . Dealer claims new calipers have larger piston so this is reason for increased pedel travel and different feel of brakes ? Brakes do not feel as if stopping vehicle as before problem began . Returned again to ask dealer 3-19-07 to bleed system due to soft pedal and concern. System bled manually this time and pedal got some what better . Still not as firm as when problem started. Pedal travel increase is still present before brakes engage. Veh does not stop as well as before problem began .
Brakes failed in panic situation on dry road. Brakes grabbed and then completely let go when antilock system took over. There was no surge in the pedal as it went completely to the floor. My road speed was 35 MPH when I hit the brakes and I would say their was at least 100ft between mine and the stopped vehicle in front of me. I thought of swerving to miss it but was sure I would at least slow enough to only bump the vec. In front of me. The guy I hit said he heard a chirp and a couple seconds later got hit. There where no skid marks that I know of. Their was 21000 dollars damage to the front of my 2006 expidition.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving on ice at various speeds, the brakes lock up. The vehicle has been to the dealership, and the manufacturer determined this is how the advance track braking system is manufactured.
Abs, roll stability control and general brake system lights came on at time of delivery of new car. Dealer "fixed" problem. Same symptoms occurred approximately 50 miles after taking delivery of car. Dealer techs. Cannot provide information if it is faulty sensor or if there is, in fact a fault in the braking system. Brakes seem to work, but am unwilling to test ABS/rsc features with known problem with system.
