NHTSA complaint #10683509, filed 2015-02, 61,000 miles“Over the year and half we have owned the car, the brakes have failed and bringing the car to a stop is very difficult. After a lengthy battle we the dealership and also ford, they stand by the fact that nothing is wrong. They had the car almost 3 months and they could not duplicate the problem, so there is no problem, according to them.”
NHTSA complaint #10238017, filed 2008-08, 12,056 miles“I purchased the 2007 towncar on 6/24/08, with 14,500 miles. The problem occurs when my shoe is half on the brake and the pedal will go down to where the gas pedal is. This has happened 6 or 7 time already, the harder you press the brake the faster you go. Why does the brake pedal go down this far? My wife gets all shook up when this happens. I put the car in neutral and the car stops on a dime with the motor racing this looks like a design problem, why would you raise the brake and gas pedal at the same time, it would be better if you could raise or lower them one at a time. …”

NHTSA complaint #10288776, filed 2009-10, 3,000 miles“When key is inserted in ignition, the seat slams forward into the steering wheel and then reverses slamming to extreme back position and then reverses repeating action. At same time the brake and gas pedal extends upward and down. The forward seat motion could crush a chest against the steering wheel, and the backward motion could break legs of a person sitting in the back seat. If this occurs while car is in motion, there would be no way to control the car, I.e. No way to turn the steering wheel, or apply brakes. …”
