Re: NHTSA item number 10021216 most of the vehicles in the dcas managed fleet, as well as most of the vehicles at dept of correction have this condition occurring. This leads to deactivation of the ABS system, and a lack of safe braking under certain conditions. Ford will not extend any warranty consideration once the vehicles have come off warranty. The city of New York is being charged approximately $1,500 for each vehicle needing out of warranty service. Considering the safety nature of this failure, I think Ford should have a recall.

Brake pedal and accelerator pedal too close together and same height leading too two occurrences of catching accelerator during braking, one causing several hundred dollars damage.
