WHILE DRIVING THE SPEED OF IN TOWN, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, MY BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT WITH STOPPED TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME AND STARTED BRAKING. I CONTINUED TO BRAKE BUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKE PRESSURE. IT FELT LIKE MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHING THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. MY CAR PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A STOPPED TRUCK AT ABOUT 35-40MPH. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I CAME AWAY WITH ACHES AND PAIN BUT FORTUNATELY WAS NOT BADLY INJURED. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE BEEN TELLING FORD SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE BRAKES MAKE AN AWFUL SQUEALING NOISE. FINALLY AFTER TWO YEARS THEY "SERVICED" THE BRAKES AND THEN A MONTH LATER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE SURFACE STREETS, THE CARS BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY LOCKED AND I SLID ON THE ROAD AND REAR ENDED A VEHICLE. THE IMPACT WAS QUITE INTENSE AND THE DAMAGED WAS QUITE LARGE. FOR SOME REASON THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BEING THAT THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED ALL THE WAY IN-TILL THE ENGINE. *TR
