| Description of the problem | About a month ago, while driving on the interstate my abs and traction control panel lights lit up with seemingly no instigator, they stayed on until i got off the interstate then went away. From then on they would intermittently pop on which i eventually discovered was mostly once the vehicle was going over 60mph. About a week after the lights started coming on, i noticed occasionally when i would try to stop my vehicle the brakes would lock up as if i was driving on ice. I would have to pump my brakes multiple times to get them to engage which is very nerve wrecking. That particular issue has happened a 2-3 times a week since then. I have taken my vehicle in and had the seal replaced which didn't fix the issue and now i'm being told that this is such a common issue among lincoln mkx's, ford edges, and ford fusions that they have "updated" axles that remedy the problem. I am getting these new axles to hopefully fix this issue but this has been a huge safety concern that has made me nervous to even put my son in the car. |
