Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABS,TRACTION AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. A GRINDING NOISE STARTED AND FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING USED EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT IF I WASN'T DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD. WE NOW HAVE A CAR SITTING IN OUR DRIVE BROKEN DOWN THAT WE STILL OWE OVER 15,000 FOR. CALLING FORD MONDAY TO HAVE IT TOWED OVER. WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 5 YR OLD AND A 2 YR OLD AND WANT A CAR THAT IS SAFE. THE BRAKES FAILED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND FORD TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. *TR
