| I am contacting you to attempt to urge ford motor company to issue a recall on the large numbers of issues on 2005-06 ford mustangs (reference tsb 06-5-4). this tsb refers to a defective brake cable originally installed on these cars in which the rubber boot is prone to premature failure. this failure allows moisture into the brake housing. in very cold temperatures the parking brake will freeze disabling the vehicle. i have pursued repair of this issue with my ford dealer as well as ford customer service. they state that at this time the number of failures have not required them to issue a recall. this is their position eventhough the fix is to replace the oem hardware with upgraded materials. this is clearly a failure in a component and should be addressed regardless of the warranty which expired less than 2 months ago. i would appreciate any assistance to urge ford to remedy the problems that so many of its customers are facing and issue a recall for the defective parts. *tr | |||

| I own a 2006 ford mustang gt. the parking brake has faulty seals causing water to wander past them and freezing my brakes when its cold. it has done this for three years in a row and im so sick of it. other mustang owners are having similar problems and i don't think this should cost the consumers to fix correctly. *tr | |||
