| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes have failed to work properly on several occasions. three (3) times when i backed up out of my driveway...brakes completely failed...i almost hit the trees across street in my neighbor's yard. i pumped the brakes vigorously when i realized they weren't working. don't know how i escaped an accident. it happened again when i tried to back up one night when i was away from home in north carolina. i realized the truck was not going to stop - so i threw the gear shift up into forward drive...barely escaped hitting a gas meter on a house.. this would have been a horrible accident. there were 5 people in the truck and 2 people in the bedroom of the house i almost hit. this brake failure on the 2004 expedition is a really bad problem. you drive the truck at your own risk. it is an accident - just waiting to happen again. dealer in north carolina had no clue as to what was happening. the local dealer has no clue....they only say if it reoccurs while the truck is in their possesion, they might be able to discover what is happening. is this a potentially dangerous vehicle? what does ford moter company say about it??? does anyone know? *nm |
