What owners say
The ABS system has been an ongoing problem for this vehicle since it was purchased. The problem is that the ABS system will "energize" at times when there is no slippage of the wheels. There are times when the ABS system energizes with the vehicle idling in park. When the vehicle is in motion, if the ABS system energizes, and the driver has to use the brakes, the braking action is sudden and extreme, creating a very dangerous condition. The repairing delership (manhattan lincoln merc, 301 424-7000, "miguel") has effectively given up on solving this problem, after a consult from ford (engineer, ernie peck?). We have no choice but to get rid of this car, because of safety concerns for my wife and our 11 month old.
When vehicle is in motion and if ABS brakes are engaged, brake action is sudden & extreme, creating a dangerous condition. This has been an ongoing problem that has gotten worse over the years. Abs will energize by itself when vehicle goes over bumps, particularly in wet weather. Dealer can't seem to remedy the problem. *ak

Brake pedal does not fully return, leaving ABS partially engaged, caused skidding on snow covered road. Also, brake pads wear prematurely, vehicle surges forward, mostly stop/go traffic, continuous problem, never corrected.

Car is equipped with ABS. *ak dealer replaced front calipers, and several weeks later, when applying brake pedal, it remained down and did not rise back, consumer states that when brakes are applied, the pedal pressure is firm and does not travel to the floor and vehicle stops properly.
