I RECENTLY SPENT OVER $1,000 HAVING THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT FIXED ALONG WITH OTHER REPAIRS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SUPER LOWE FORD SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE THE LIGHT STAYED ON. SUPER LOWE SAID IT WAS "GAS CAP IS LOOSE" AND "IT'S A SHORT, WE CAN DISCONNET IT IF YOU WANT US TO" ETC. IT WOULD BE OFF FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN RIGHT BACK ON. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT REALLY DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, JUST DON'T DRIVE IN CALIFORNIA. WHY DOES THE LIGHT STAY ON?*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
THIS IS A SHERIFFS' PATROL VEHICLE. THE BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR BRAKES RUBBED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FLOOR-BOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNTIL IT WORE THROUGH. THE BRAKES FAILED AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE CONFIRMED THIS PROBLEM ON TWO MORE IDENTICAL PATROL UNITS. NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED YET BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. BRAKE LOSS IS REPORTED AS SPONTANEOUS AND FORTUNATLY, IN OUR THREE INCIDENTS, IT HAS OCCURED AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEED.
