2001 Ford Ranger SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

WHEN VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND CONSUMER STEPS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT MOVE FORWARD ALL THE WAY UNTIL IT HITS THE FLOOR, VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND HAS REPLACED VARIOUS PARTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS, THE UNEVEN FRONT BRAKING PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR HAS NOT. *JG *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHEN APPLING BRAKES, PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO PULSATE, BRAKES DO NOT HOLD. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK THE CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES FOR EMERGENCY, BUT THE VEHICLE WENT 20 FT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP DUE TO BOOSTER PUMP FAILUR. *YH

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE FOR FRONT BRAKES PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT FIXED TWICE AND DROPPED OF AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME ON 12/08/01. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM: ROTORS, PADS REPLACED TWICE , HOSES ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO 12/08/01. *AK

THIS IS THE MOST UNUSUAL FAILURE I'VE EVER HEARD OF ON A VEHICLE. MECHANICS HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THESE PARTS FAILING. HOW DO ALL FOUR ABS BRAKES FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY? PEDAL PUMPED WILDLY (3-4 INCHES 3X PER SECOND) AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID NOT DIE. *AK

WHEN CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FIX VEHICLE THAT DAY, CONSUMER THEN WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND AFTER WAITING FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF CONSUMER WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE VEHICLE, ON MAY 2,2001 DEALERSHIP ORDERED THE WRONG PARTS, ON MAY 3, 2001 CONSUMER PICKED UP VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED, ON MAY 7, 2001 CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT CALIPERS WERE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH CONSUMER WAS STILL EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM, ON MAY 11,2001 CONSUMER LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR NINETEEN DAYS, VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP ON MAY 26,2001 AND IT WORKED FINE FOR TWO DAYS AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURED. *JB

ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND BRAKING HARD, PEDAL GOES TO A STOP AND ABS RELEASES. BUT, DOES NOT CONTINUE TO PULSATE, CAUSING A LONGER TIME TO STOP.*AK *SLC

WHILE DRIVING 65 MP CONSUMER HAD TO APPLY BRAKES, AND THEY LOCKED UP. WOULD NOT RELEASE UNTIL ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. DUE TO ABS LOCKING UP, VEHICLE SPUN AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. *AK

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX PROBLEM THREE TIMES.*JB
