    While traveling to work i unknowingly approached a patch of black ice at speed of 35mph. Upon realizing the road condition i lifted throttle to coast over the ice in an attempt to safely decelerate. The rear wheels locked causing an uncontrollable slide. The car rotated 90 degrees right before stopping in the middle of the road. I maneuvered the car to the side of the road to inspect for damage and find the cause.…

    Power Train · Service Brakes

    The parking brake cable has lost all tension and no longer works to keep back wheels from moving. This creates a safety hazard because when parked on a hill the car is only supported by the transmission. Also the car seems to roll forward excessively when put in park without the brake on. I feel as if this is a safety issue that should be investigated. *tr

    Parking Brake · Service Brakes

    The parking brake will not work therefore i can not get my vehicle inspected. It goes up and down, no cables are broken visibly, but if you pull the brake it does not stop the car. It is as though the brakes are seized. Clearly i am not the only one with this exact problem, and i almost ran over my wife when depending on the parking brake! How could ford not recall this part when they 'know" it is faulty! The rubber…
