What owners wrote
After driving vehicle for a long period of time or pulling a load the brakes become warm and the braking power decreases. The vehicle also virbrates when applying the brakes. Vehicle serviced 8 or 9 times for brake problems. Problem still exists. Front brake rotor warp due to heat which lessons the contact of the pads causing poor braking and vibration.
1997 ford super club wagon xlt (e350) ABS system engages inappropriately causing total lack of braking power. The ABS control unit does not record an error code so my mechanic cannot find a cause. I have had to remove the ABS fuse in order to have trustworthy brakes.
