NHTSA complaint #10006217, filed 2003-02“I own two Taurus station wagons, this one and a 1990 model, both purchased used. Both have had two problems in common. The parking brake warning light on both cars has failed intermittently. On the 1992 model, this LED to a leaking rear wheel hydraulic brake cylinder due to overheating. On the 1990 model, I once drove 2 hours on an interstate highway with the parking brake on. This later caused the rear right spindle to bend, putting the tire severely out of alignment. The heat had essentially annealed and softened the spindle. No mechanic I have talked to had seen this before. …”
