Ford is recalling my vehicle under 19s54. Ford knows of 15 crashes related to this problem but the recall notice says the vehicle is safe to drive until the parts are available. How can the vehicle be safe to drive if ford knows of 15 crashes related to the issue? Ford should supply a rental car until they are able to fix the problem.
2006 Lincoln Zephyr brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake peddle goes to the floor after ABS is activated. In my case trying to stop in the snow. This is the second time this has happened. First time with 51318 miles, second with 62700 miles. The internet in full of people complaining about the anti-lock brake pump failing which causes the brake peddle to go to the floor. I have another to add to that list. With this being a $1000+ fix and seeing how many have had this problem it is understandable why we believe this should be a recall.
