Description of the problem | Parking brake came on without being touched by the driver. Locked the rear wheels. Very dangerous. Vehicle was traveling at low speed on a suburban street, while driving in a straight line. After the event, took the vehicle to the ford dealership, where we have all the service work done. Ford found no error codes in computer and could not replicate the problem on test drives, and as a result said they could not fix the car. If this happened on a highway or in heavy traffic this vehicle defect could result in fatalities. Ford needs to address this. |
