I have a severe break fading problem. I happens after you have descended a steep downgrade and stop. at that point the break pedal goes completely to the floor. After a resting period the pedal comes back again. ford has told me the only way to correct the problem with my 1991 M53, 50,000 miles, IS to do a $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 overhaul of the break system using phonelic parts. I feel if an extensive overhaul IS required at this point, it was a system designed to fail. a system defect. This problem could have cost the life of my wife and two of my grandchildren and myself. I have been restricted to driving on flatland ever since this instance about 2 years ago. I have attempted to get an answer or a correction but no one seems to have one except $2,500- $3,000. I feel ford has a responsibility here and should pay all or a substantial part of the correction of their design error. *nlm
