| Description of the problem | For a while when i would apply my brakes i would lose them in the fact that i would have to push them all the way to the floor. After this happened a few times i would have no brakes at all. My mechanics could not figure this out because after the car would sit or i pumped the brakes they would return until finally they just went completely. At this time i came to find out that the abs system had to be replaced. They told me that this was a defect. The only company i could get the part from was ford! No other company or after-market was compatable. Tell me ford did not know about this???? Cost me over $1k |
