| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On a relatively cold and rainy evening, i parked my vehicle in a parking lot and attended an event lasting a couple of hours. after the event i returned to my vehicle to leave. i was travelling about 15 mph through the parking lot and came to a corner, and approaching the corner applied the brakes to slow down. when i first touched the brakes they grabbed hard, sending me into a slide which sent my vehicle through a fence. in addition, the rear anti-lock braking system did nothing to help. i believe this to be related to nhtsa item number 601043, ford tsb #985a36. i talked to the dealer shortly after this happened, and they said this was a known problem with many ford trucks and that there was no solution other than to expect such a brake condition any time it is cold and wet and use brakes/accelerator simultaneously to warm/dry brakes. |
