6 Parking Brake problem of the 2005 Ford Expedition

Failure Date: 02/18/2007

We are the owners of a 2005 Ford expedition XLT. In August 2006 I incurred a braking problem while driving. I immediately took the vehicle to the Ford dealer and had it checked out. They replaced the front brake calipers and machined the front rotors. Problem seemed to have been resolved. Then last week on Feb. 14th while driving at approximately 20-25 mi/hour as I broke the vehicle groaned and the brake pedal went completely soft. After several pumps I was able to get the brakes back. Upon driving a little further it did it again. Then we resumed using the vehicle until sun. Feb. 18th when the same thing occurred while my husband was driving and began to brake at the approximate speed of 20 mi/hour. We returned our vehicle to the dealer to be checked out. They said they ran a full battery of diagnostic testing and found the vehicle to be free of problems. We feel very unsafe driving a vehicle that loses its ability to brake. We realize this is an intermittent problem but as far as fairway Ford is concerned we need to continue driving until it does it often enough that they can pinpoint the problem. Our problem is that could mean a major accident to say the least. We are inquiring as to whether this problem has been encountered by other individuals. We are also interested in any paths that we should take in an effort to identify if this is a systemic issue with the vehicle or an isolated incident. We are looking for support in getting this issue resolved as well. Any direction that you could provide will be greatly appreciated.

Humming coming from bottom of vehicle (rear axle). Knock is also heard when coming to stop in same area (rear axle). Dealer replaced gears and components may 2005. Got vehicle back but knock was louder, found out that needed the correct shims to prevent problem. Waited for parts for 3-4 weeks. Dealer said Ford will not replace the entire axle only replace components. Ford service log shows "repair rear axle as per TSB 050618". But problem still present. Waiting on parts again. As of October 10, 2005, have had dealer try to fixed problem three (3) times. Now my park brake does not work, dealer said need to get parts in to fix both problems (axle and brake) at same time. But I will take back to dealer to fix park brake even if axle parts are not available.
