Consumer Description

THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. DEALER & FORD CUST. SVC. PEOPLE TELL ME IT WORKS AS DESIGNED. THEY SAY WE MUST PULL THE BRAKE HANDLE ALL THE WAY UP TO THE STOP FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS WILL, IN FACT, PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. HOWEVER, MY WIFE CAN NOT PULL THE BRAKE LEVER THIS FAR UP NOR CAN SHE DISENGAGE IT IF I PULL IT TO THE STOP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT EFFECTIVE FOR THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE.*AK
