The dealership could not duplicate the problem. A representative from Ford inspected the vehicle and could not duplicate the problem.

problem #1

Dec 012005

Town Car

  • Automatic transmission
  • 18,200 miles
: the contact stated brakes failed and vehicle lurched forward intermittently. While depressing the brake pedal to the floor the motor revved, and the vehicle did not stop but it kept lurching forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for diagnostic testing. The problem could not be duplicated. However, the dealer suggested that the contact install a data recorder in the vehicle to record these instances. The contact declined, and no repairs were made. Updated 1/19/2006 - no warning lights illuminated on the dash indicating there was a problem.
