| Description of the problem | It appears that there was an issue with the parking brake linkage. There had been small noticeable shimmy with the brakes, which having been fairly recently replaced, did concern me. However, on the way home, i tapped the brake at approx 35 mph, i got a very large clunk in the rear. I continued to drive, very concerned over what may have occurred. However, i was on open road, 40 miles from home. As i continued to drive, i could tell there were major issues. It was bad weather, and i was in middle of nowhere. I continued home to my repair shop. They informed me the next day, that the parking brake linkage got fouled up, wrapped around a brake or something, eventually tearing it all up. This is costing me approx $500 to replace. After research, i see a tsb 08-11-1 was issued. Why not owners notified? This is an issue that should have been sent to owners for a fix. I blame ford. |
