1/11/98 parking brake failed while parked on incline and in first gear. Car rolled down driveway into lawn and hit mailbox. Was towed to dealer and dealer could find no problem. Paid out of pocket for damages to bumper and to mailbox. 12/1/2000 recieved safety recall 00s37 which describes this situation exactly. Contacted Ford rep kathy allen, " will not send a investigator, the incident is too old" thus denied the claim that the car rolling is related to the recall. I am now looking for others with similar issues to form or join a class action lawsuit against Ford.

When the consumer parks vehicle with the emergency parking brake on, the parking brake most of the time holds vehicle. Sometimes it holds vehicle and for no reason lets go, after it holds it for a while. The problem had happened before where the consumer had to rush inside the vehicle to stop it on time.

Front end vibrates/shakes. In addition, brakes failed, pedal went all the way to the floor, almost caused an accident. In addition, emergency brake failed/steering assembly malfunctioned, causing vehicle to pull in either direction.

This vehicle has been recalled for a faulty emergency brake according to your records, but the manufacturer has yet to contact me to inform me of this fact.

I feel that the mounting bracket where the teeth on the hand/parking brake mesh is too thin. Thus the amount of friction caused by the weight of the fuel in the fuel tank sways enough to cause the parking brake to dislodge and become disengaged.

Emergency brake slips regularly. Had it adjusted once, but still slips. Must keep car in gear to ensure it doesn't roll away.

While vehicle was parked with the emergency parking brake engaged, vehcile rolled backwards, hitting a telephone pole. Please give any further details.
