Three problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1997 Ford E-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While backing up into parking space,when I stepped on brake pedal, the brakes did not grab. It seemed like the van started to accelerate. I squeezed brake pedal very hard and I heard abs clicking. I still didn't stop so I had to shift car into park. This happened twice to me. The first time was about 3 months earlier.
Tried to stop and vehicle went through intersection. After several brake attempts the brakes worked again. Happens when vehicle sits in rain for several hours. This is about the 10th time this has happened.
While traveling at any speed and when depressing the brake pedal, steering wheel would sway left to right, causing consumer to fight with steering wheel. Dealer has been notified. Consumer wants to be reimbursed for the repairs, but dealer says that there is nothing they can do.
