| Parking Brake problems |
The emergency brake came off (completely). Ford is back? I do not think so if they overlook important aspects of the car.
Release button for emergency brake broke and came off. Unable to set parking brake because I won't be able to release it. Ford service informed me that it was "trim issue" and was not covered by warranty. I can not set the parking brake, which leaves the danger of the car rolling while parked and injuring someone. I went to the parts department out of desperation to order the button, and was told the entire parking brake assyembly had to be replaced at over $1000! that does not sound like a trim issue to me! joe cooper Ford tulsa oklahoma.
