Brake pedal gets and remains hard (pedal at full top) while at highway and then at local street speeds. Although this has happened twice and reported to dealer at service time (10/26/2000 & 05/22/2001), when it does happen it is constant. Feels like the brakes are activated, and sometimes problem causes the car to vibrate serverly , causing concern of possible accident. Dealer could not verify my concern at both instances.

When driving at various speeds during rainy and wet conditions,the power steering fails during the enactment of a turn. The dealership "cannot diagnose"this dangerous occurance.

Vehicle shakes at high speeds. When pressing brakes brakes shutter to a stop. Please provide any further information.

Front brakes including driver side rotor required replacement at 26,500 miles. The outside brake pad on this wheel , visible thru aluminum wheel, had a full 3/16" of pad remaining and the inner pad was completely gone (metal to metal) when replaced. Only sign of problem was unusual noise approx. One week before replacement. All other previous cars have been gm or Chrysler which have "squealer clips" on brake pads that alert you to need for repair while pads are still in safe operating condition. Dealer told me Ford does not put these clips on their pads. I believe these low cost clips are a very important safety feature and should be mandated on all cars sold in the us.
