Brake Sensor Problems of Ford Mustang

A non-conductive pad is installed between the brake sensor switch and brake arm. The pad becomes brittle over time and breaks allowing the brake sensor to engage. This causes the car to go into �limp� mode which can occur while driving on highways. This is a safety issue since it occurs randomly and can happen at high speeds.

Parking brake engagement/adjustment the emergency brake does no engage when the handle is pulled up due to a slack in the cable line of about 2 inches. This causes an issue driving as the sensor is engaged and can cause cruise control to turn off. Also, it becomes a risk parking the car on a hill since you have to pulled the handle all the way up for proper tension on the brake line cable. The other issue is this cable can come loose resulting in lost of the emergency brake function. Also, it can cause vibration and rattling since the cable mount and bolting can move against the transmission casing. Ford should create a TSB for this issue and notify dealers to look for it during regular maintenance since multiple users have had this on internet forums. . Read more...

Anti-locking braking system (abs) and traction control failed. The service light went on and I immediately took the car in for repair. The first repair took place between Nov. 11, 2005 and Nov. 18, 2005. The same problem occurred in December 2005. The second repair took place between Dec. 21, 2005 and Dec. 30, 2005. The same systems failed a third time. (Jan. 21, 2006) I am in the process of making another appointment. On the first repair, they replaced part # fmc 2r3z 2c219 CA (control) also fmc 2r3z 2c219 CA (core chg) during the next repair they replaced part # fmc f7zz 2c204 ab (sensor asy). During these repairs, the down time on my vehicle has been a total of 4 days and counting. The last incident on Jan. 21, 2006 was frightening. The abs system was engaging during normal braking. (stopping at a light) I could feel the system turning on and off. I felt as if the car might not stop. I turned around and went home. I feel the car is not safe to drive. I do not have any of the original parts for inspection.
