1 Brake Abs Warning Light problem of the 2015 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 11/28/2019

My car was part of a recall I took it to Ford and supposedly it was a quick fix til they could investigate and find an actual fix for it. Immediately after I got it back from Ford I started calling the dealer as well as Ford themselves to inform them that my car was not driving right and that something needed to b done due to it being a safety concern. On Nov 28 2019 I was approaching a stop sign and went to apply my brakes and at the moment I did that the cars dash lights completely lit up including traction light, check engine light had been illuminated since I got it back from Ford, the abs light and the up hill parking light. The brakes would not work or stop my car it seemed as though my car either shut off or just stopped responding to any thing I tried to do to get it under control and avoid a crash, nothing worked. As I got closer to the intersection I had no other choice but to turn the wheel and continue through the intersection and tried applying my brakes, all this resulted in an accident with me going over a curb down a ditch into a reservoir and then I got bounced back up the ditch and hit a tree which finally stopped my car. My car is now totaled I've only had ot for 17 months and because of the fact that I complained several times to Ford and the dealer and was told there wasnt a fix available, now I'm out of my only car I still owe money on it due to it being financed, and still Ford does not have a fix. I'm lucky to have only walked away with minor yet painful injuries but what happens to the next person? Ford needs to step it up. Im. Enclosing several pictures of the car accident as well as the check engine light illuminated when I got my car back from the dealer after it was supposed to b temporarily fixed. The police report is unavailable at this time due to the accident just happened a few days ago but once I receive it I can forward it.

2 Brake Abs Warning Light problem of the 2008 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 07/01/2017

Abs pump is malfunctioning. Car has "soft pedal" that is not resolved by replacement of master cylinder, brake booster or thorough bleeding of the brakes (including electronic bleeding of the abs). In addition, after about 5-10 minutes of driving, the brakes start to clamp down on the rotors without driver input. The friction is especially bad when driving at high speeds (e. G. , on a highway), to the point where the car begins to vibrate from the friction. But it will also shows signs of brake drag even at lower speeds (e. G. , 30-50 mph). No abs lights/warnings/codes came on, but mechanic (christian brothers automotive, located in houston TX area) confirmed through manual testing that abs pump was malfunctioning. As it turns out, I am told the abs pump for the 2008 model was a one-year design and was discontinued and cannot be purchased anywhere now. The problems all started about one year ago.
