The contact stated that when applying the brake they jerked and squeaked intermittently. At times when the brakes were applied they almost went to the floor. Dealer said they could not find the cause of the problem. Once the dealer drove vehicle it jerked. Manufacturer took the contact's complaint, and told her they could not duplicate the problem, and could not offer any help at their expense. She was not sure if it was the front or rear brakes.
During a close proximity, panic stop attempt, the brake system cycled and a collision ensued. If the brake system had not cycled, the accident could have been avoided. This is the second occurrence to me in 2 different Ford vehicles in less than a year. In each case, I feel that the accident could have been avoided if the anti-skid system did not cycle at speed under 25-30 mph. I have contacted Ford about this and they seem to be uninterested. If it had been a child running into the roadway from between cars, in each instance, I would have run over them. Does anyone besides me see a problem here?.
