problem #1

Apr 162004

Expedition 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,000 miles
ABS brakes: Brakes on '97 Ford expidition often failed due to malfunctioning ABS brakes. Pedal becomes jerky and will not go down. Clunking noise from front. Does not happen consistantly. I have to approach very cautiously to avoid collosions. Every other owner I have talked to has same complaint, yet Ford has no knowledge of it. Front breaks have been redone, still happens. Has done it since new.
