While consumer was driving in a 20 mph zone ABS light came on. There has been other times that light came on. This problem happened at any speed. Contacted dealer, and dealer said there was nothing they could do. This is was second time that vehicle was taken in for same problem.

Rear brakes grabbed causing a loss of control on damp road. Vehical was inspected May 2000. Good brake linning front and rear.

While driving ABS brake light would come on unexpectedly, and when brakes were applied, they malfunctioned.

- Lexington, TN, USA

Left front rotor. Cracked all the way through. With numerous other partial thickness cracks. Rotor in good shape

- Running Springs, CA, USA

Brakes lock up and truck will skid no matter what speed, truck becomes uncontrollable. Windshield wipers will come on and spray during some left turns, for no apparant reason. This causes the inability to see. When brakes are applied(and truck goes nuts)the passenger front seat launches forward even though it is locked into position. One incident was I was making a left turn onto a busy street when my wipers came on and sprayed fluid all over, I tried to apply my brakes and the tires locked up and truck started to skid, and the seat holding my infant son's car seat was thrown forward into the dash. I was traveling maybe 4-6 mph. Some one is going to get killed in this vehicle. I contacted Ford and they say I have no recourse and have never heard of such things happening with thier vehicles. I have had the brakes inspected and I am told that they look fine, and there is no problem with the ABS dummy light coming on in the vehicle. Please, please can you make Ford do something about this? I noticed that there are a lot of similar complaints with this truck posted here on NHTSA's site. Thank you.
