What owners wrote

This car had continued brake defects from 03/29/01 (our first fire) until the last fire. We spent nearly $4,000 on brakes, each time being told the problem was fixed. Finally, after the last fire in fremont, ny, 3 days after the last repair bill of nearly $800 for brakes, the company found a statement from ford saying this particular make could have a bad booster (from the factory), which would not slow the car properly after 60 MPH and cause excessive wear and brake failure.

July 2001 Fire

Tl*the contact owns a 1992 ford crown victoria. When the contact places her vehicle in drive and depresses the accelerator pedal, the vehicle suddenly accelerates to 40 MPH and the engine rpms increase. She must apply the brakes with both feet in order for the vehicle to come to a complete stop. Afterwards, she smells the scent of burning plastic. The mechanic stated that the failure could be caused by the brake pressure switch.
