Mileage is 113,086. Have ABS. Brake lines to both rear wheel have rubbed against moving part of shock absorbers. The rubber covering of brake lines is worn off completely and part of metal is worn. Ford double insulated the brake lines so it is clear they know the lines were rubbing agains the shock absorbers. If these lines were to wear through and fluid sprayed out, I dread to think what would happen. To repeat: Rear brake lines are rubbing agains part of shock absorbers, thus wearing away all the insulation on line.

Very intermittent incidents of false ABS cycles when braking to a stop from a low speed. This severely extends the stopping distance which could result in a collision into stopped vehicles. Most of the incidents have occurred on dry pavement. The ABS warning light does not come on during the incidents. This same problem is described in NHTSA item numbers SB604767 and SB606515. Will be taking to Ford dealer, but it will be highly unlikely that they will be able to duplicate the problem.
