Consumer Description

IN THE WINTER OF 2006, I HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR IN FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PARKING BRAKE. WHAT HAPPENED WAS, THE BRAKE CABLE SPLIT SOMEWHERE ALLOWING MOISTURE TO COLLECT. WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT WOULD CAUSE THAT MOISTURE TO FREEZE, WITH THE RESULT OF LOCKED BRAKES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN 2007. THE CAR IS NO LONGER ON WARRANTY SO I DON'T BOTHER GETTING IT FIXED ANYMORE, KNOWING IT WILL JUST HAPPEN AGAIN. INSTEAD I JUST PARK ON FLAT AREAS AND LEAVE IT IN GEAR. FORD HAS NEVER OFFERED A VALID SOLUTION OTHER THAN BRING IT IN EVERY TIME IT BREAKS. NOT IMPRESSED! *TR
