Brake pedal is very inconsistant, and pedal will go almost to the floor, also the brake pedal never feels like a good pedal. The brakes give a very unsafe feel at all speeds, the dealer was informed of my problem, they looked at them and informed me that it was a known problem and that the brakes in the expeditions were the same way, however they said there was nothing they could. After speaking with Ford's cutomer service they informed me that if I felt safety was a problem to take it back the the dealer. No success again, I then had a brake safety inspection completed at a local maintence facility and they could not find anything that appeared wrong however agreed that the brakes were insufficient for safe stopping. I then wrote Ford customer service informing them of my complete dissatisfaction in the brakes and asked for any options that may be available to fix the problem and have not received a response as of 10 months later. I truely hope that your offices can be of assistance, I honestly feel that my safety and my family's safety is at risk each time I drive the vehicle.

The brakes wore out prematurely and the repair shop said that the original equipment rotor discs were already under (less than) specification when manufactured (ie. The incorrect spec. Was installed). Also, the rear anti-lock brakes do not work. Independently or combined, these conditions have resulted in poor braking resulting in numerous running of stop signs and near rear end collisions with vehicles or collisions with curbs, signs, etc.

While driving, I would come up to a stop sign or light and apply the brakes and the left rear brake would lock up. I took it in and they looked at the brakes and said they were ok. I went to leave and it did it again. I went back in and told them that they were still doing it and they said that it was normal for the abs to do that. I went back the next day and they adjusted the brakes and now they do what they are suppose to do. It could be possible that one of the self adjusters might not be working.

I took the truck in and the service consultant said that the brakes were working normally eventhough the rear ones did lock up at 20 m. P. H. Or slower when leaving the parking lot of their lot.
