Very intermittent incidents of false abs cycles when braking to a stop from a low speed. This severely extends the stopping distance which could result in a collision into stopped vehicles. Most of the incidents have occurred on dry pavement. The abs warning light does not come on during the incidents. This same problem is described in NHTSA item numbers sb604767 and sb606515. Will be taking to Ford dealer, but it will be highly unlikely that they will be able to duplicate the problem.
Intermittently abs light will illuminate while vehicle is in motion. Dealer has inspected vehicle and has not been able to duplicate the problem, thus the problem cannot be confirmed or corrected. The manufacturer will be notified.
