Description of the problem	Was driving home from work abs,traction and wrench light came on. A grinding noise started and felt like the brakes were being used even though i was touching the gas pedal. Could have caused a accident if i wasn't driving in a neighborhood. We now have a car sitting in our drive broken down that we still owe over 15,000 for. Calling ford monday to have it towed over. What i have read online, it looks like i am not the only one with this problem. I have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old and want a car that is safe. The brakes failed a couple of years ago and ford told us there was nothing wrong.
