| Description of the problem | Everytime i hit a bump the abs kicks on and my brakes will not work. Brake pedal goes all the way down. My car has been to the dealership many times for this problem. I have spent about 1500 dollars and still have this issue. They have even told me that there is nothing wrong. My car is unsafe! Now they are trying to charge me 1000 dollars to replace the hcu. After looking this up it turns out this is a very common issues with 08 milians. I am at my wits end with this. Ford needs to recall these cars. It gives the driver no warning that the brakes are going to fail. |
