While driving to work one morning all I here was ding ding ding od/off started flashing . Sec later check transmission light came on now when I drive putting foot on the paddle to go it will idle up I release and it will shift n go. Aamco saying that I need a rebuilt tranny that's bs with all what I have been reading it's just a rip off I don't have $3500 to get this fix. Now seeing not once not twice so many complaints I read that people paid for 2 or more tranny for the vehicle's and nothing is been done about it. And the ford deals knows about it..... Do a human being has to lose their life before ford dealer's can own up to there responsibility? If they was in our shoes they would want the same thing vice verse they say u reap what you sow. Please please please help up just fix our transmission that's all.. Another thing ABS light stays on check engine light stays on the seat belt light stays on all my windows doesn't let down now wtf?

Abs light has came on 4 times in 2 years I had the ABS sensor replaced every time the truck has only 35450 miles on it. I paid over $31000 for this truck and I have had more trouble with it than any truck I have ever had in the past.

I have a continued problem of the ABS light coming on. I have had it in the shop 5-6 times. They changed the sensor and a while later it comes back on. On several occasions, my brakes have gone all the way to the floor. The dealership maintains that mercury is aware of the problem and may be working on a recall. My light is now on again and have placed a call to the dealership. I have to wait for the manager to return to town to see what he would like to do. Oh, and I do have the extended warranty that I have paid over $2,000. What is that for? What will it take, my brakes to go out?

Abs light continually comes on. On several ocassions, when applying the brakes, they go all the way to the floor with a shuddering noise. The vehicle has been in the dealership 5 / 6 times to repair this problem. The sensor has been changed and after a month or so, it comes back on again. On my last visit to the dealership, I was told mecury was aware of the problem and they were working on a solution. They said I would be contacted in a couple of weeks. That was months ago and my light is back on again. What will it take, an accident? Now I am waiting for the manager to return to town to give me a call.

Consumer stated the ABS had failed. Consumer stated the brakes went out on her twice and she drove it to the dealer . She stated the first time she took it to the dealer, she was told there was some kind of a leak. The second time they did not say anything. The vehicle was still making a thumping noise. *ph the anti lock brake system had a right inner seal leak and a rear sensor malfunction. The ABS light had come on at different times. *scc
