Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED A USED 1994 FORD THUNDERBIRD, FROM A DEALER, WITH 49,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE WONDERING IF THERE WERE EVER ANY RECALL OR REPAIR CAMPAIGNS ON THAT YEAR AND MODEL? PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY AND WHAT THEY ENTAIL. WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF. SEVERAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN. 1. ONE SITUATION IS AT ENGINE START-UP THE ANTI-LOCK LIGHT DOES NOT GO OUT, AS IT SHOULD. 2. ANOTHER SITUATION IS THAT THE LIGHT GOES OUT THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO, THEN WHILE DRIVING AN ODD NOISE COMES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THAT TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. 3. THE OTHER SITUATION IS THAT THE LIGHT GOES OUT, BUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE NOISE HAPPENS, THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES GRAB. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT, IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *AK
