ALL OF THEM SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR MY 1985. I AM BEING LIED TO BY THEM AS I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION CONTRARY TO THEIR STATEMENTS TO ME. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 85V040000 I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 86V109000.

Owner report 730026 · 2000-09-03 (September 3, 2000)
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AND THERE IS NO BRAKES WHATSOVER , NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH DOWN. AFTER STOPPING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES, THE BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AS WELL AS OTHER REPAIR CENTERS AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IS UNAFE TO DRIVE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT IS TOO VALUABLE TO JUNK BUT WE MAY HAVE TO.
