2 Service Brakes problem of the 1999 Ford Escort

Failure Date: 03/15/2008

I own 2 Ford Escorts a 1999 Escort se, and a 2002 Escort se, I've noticed on both vehicles, when I've had to do an emergency stop (slamming the brakes) both vehicles take fairly long to respond, increasing the braking distance. I have 2 other friends who own similar Escorts, and notice the same problem, I feel that this concern needs to be investigated for a potential defect in the braking system.

Transmission went out. The car had 2400 miles on it when I bought it. It should have been been pre owned. They sold it to me saying it was new but someone else put 2400 miles on it. Now I fell thats the reason why my transmission failed prematureley. Ford has denied me a awa because they said I'm not a loyal customer just because I got my transmission serviced somewhere else. Thank you for hearing me out please e-mail/call me at any time to tell me what steps I could take to have Ford pay some/all of the cost of repair to my transmission. Thanks again, keon walker.
