| Total failure of emergency parking brake - went to apply brake and the pedal went all the way to the floor without engaging brake; repeated attempts unsuccessful - the vehicle when stopped can only be kept from moving by the foot brake, or placing the vehicle in gear. this defect is the subject of prior recall (nhtsa campaign id 94v169000) covering the same failure. this recall work was completed on my vehicle in 1994. both before and after the recall work was done, my vehicle experienced the intermittent failure of the parking brake to engage, but releasing the pedal and re-applying would always work. now, there has been a complete failure of the pedal system and ford & the dealer indicate that this is not covered by the above-referenced recall since the work was already done. this failure is a safety hazard! *ak | |||
