Brakes pads were replaced and the rotors were turned. Brakes operated normally for approximately 4 months, then intermittent grinding noises were heard. Vehicle was taken in for repair of noise problem and mechanics said everything was working properly and the noise was normal. The brakes then failed when attempting to make an abrupt stop and a major crash occured.
Ford ordered by california dispute settlement board to replace front braking system. Caliper failure results in premature wearing of right front brake pads. This was done in april of 1997. Less than one year later, front brakes show 35% wear on left an 100%. Front suspension has also made popping sounds for a long time, with no reason offered by ford.
Power window motor failed.
Intermittently when brakes are applied in a panic stop , the pedal becomes soft and almost goes to the floor , resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has been notified.
Consumer was driving on normal street condition at 5 MPH, attempted to make left turn when vehicle in front. Also tried to make left turn and stopped, forcing consumer to stop. When consumer applied brake pedal, it went to the floor, almost causing cosumer to hit vehicle in front. Dealer notified.
During breaking, ABS check light comes on and disables ABS, thus rendering the ABS inoperable. Untit has not failed but is being shut down due to design flaw. Dealer states that ford is aware of design flaw with redundant wire to the ABS unit causing the problem but is unwilling to correct at ford's expense.
Abs brakes make a pulsating noise and crunching sound, and cause an extended stopping distance. This may have something to do with the sensor, but cannot duplicate the problem. Travelling speed ranged from 35-45 MPH.
