Tl*the contact owns a 2003 ford excursion. The contact stated that the vehicle lost its power steering and the brakes failed. The failures have occurred twice. While driving at an unknown speed on the highway, the master cylinder and the hydro boost failed while the brakes were being applied. This forced the master cylinder into the engine compartment. The dealer and manufacturer have not yet been notified. The contact is an afc certified technician and replaced the components himself. The current mileage was 64,000 and failure mileage was 60,000.

The front brake rotors go out about every 1500 miles. I cost over 350 a shot to have them fixed. The entire vehile shimmers and pulls. *Nm

So far I haven't had any collisions, but there is a problem with my emergency brakes. My emergency brakes are sticking which is causing them to rub and grind when braking. When I accelerate my escape jerks forward. I have contacted the ford dealership where I get my vehicle worked on tonight. *Nm

When moving a slow speed (10mph to 15mph) a small sudden tap of the breaks and the brake sometimes will go down farther than my foot. Almost as if when tapped the break keeps going down when my foot is going up. This has happen 2 times to date. When it happens the truck almost feels as though I am slamming the breaks to the floor and all people inside are slung foward. When I am just trying to slow cause of a car in front has slowed. But I have to tap them just right to do it and I cant always make it happen at will, it just does it every now and then when you least expected it.

My 2003 ford focus zx3 was taken in to the dealership for its 20,000 mile service and the technician said the front brake pads and rotors had to be replaced. I discussed the issue with the service manager and since it was a safety issue, had the work done and then contacted ford customer care. The bottom line is that I had to pay to replace obviously faulty brake rotors and ford does not care how or if its dealers honor their warranty. As a side note, there were two minor bodywork issues that the same dealership refused to fix under warranty, which we taken care of by another dealership in my area.

Brakes are marginal for stopping this vehicle. When stopping or stopped on an incline (+/- 10 %) the brake pedal travels to a point even with or below the height of the accelerator pedal. This condition causes the engine to accelerate as the brake pedal is depressed to stop or hold the vehicle. The dealer has checked it thoroughly and finds that all systems and components are ok. I don't agree - it is an unsafe condition and exists on my daughters same type of vehicle. *La

When the car is put into reverse it does not want to move. If you increase the rpm's, it still just sets there. The problem has been very inconsistent. Reverse seems to be at this point, the only place it occurs. In one of the attempts to fix the problem, the technician found that 3 of the 4 calipers were froze/dried up. This does not set well with me and I see it as a possibly dangerous situation. *Nlm
