| Abs failure on a ford 1999 f-150. i have had the abs fail twice and this time it has been in the ford dealers shop for over 30 days. it is at morristown ford in morristown,tn.37814. each time my brakes have failed and almost caused a serious accident. this time this repair was not at my fault, service writer stated it had moisture in the module and needs to be replaced? morristown replaced this module in aug. 2007, i feel i was sold a defective part and now the abs module needs to be replaced at a cost of over $600.00. i feel ford should be responsible for this repair since the part that was replace must have been defective since service writer told me it was missing grease that should have prevented moisture. please help! *tr | |||
