Right rear brake would lock up after being parked. Would break loose after being dragged on dry pavement for about 20 feet. ABS light would come on sporadically. Had Ford dealer replace rear brakes.

We believe the sheer number of defect on this car is unbelievable. We purchased it used from my parents. Total cost of non "wear and tear" repairs is around $5000. This is over 25% of the vehicles original value, and over 50% of the value at time of purchase. While no accidents have occurred, we believe Ford should take responsibility for a bad product.
