| Brake Light On problems |
The brakes failed and abs and brake lights came on. Had a soft pedal almost to floor before any braking was present. After turning of engine and restarting brakes returned to normal. The first time this happened my wife ran into e repair shop building causing $3000. Oo dollars damage. Our insurance charged her with a at fault accident. We cannot locate the accident report.
I was driving down the freeway in a fully loaded car and traffic was building up yesterday. I saw brake lights ahead and decided to slow proactively. I pressed on the brakes and there was no slowing and I had to push the brakes as hard as I could with the pedal fully depressed to the floor. The car did slow but I almost rear ended the car in front. The yellow abs and the red brake warning lamp lit and the alarm sounded. I was scared to death in heavy traffic and pulled off the next exit. I turned off the car and pumped the brakes and waited 5 minutes. I turned the car on again and everything worked but I was very nervous all the way home. I then googled the article below and am very upset the Ford dealer or Ford itself never alerted me of this known potential malfunction. . . . Andf why has there been no formal recall!??.
