Almost 2 years later, I woke up this morning to go out to work, hop in my warm car, put it in drive, release the ebrake and it felt light....pull out of my inclined driveway at 3500 to 4000rpm and thought that was normal, get out and leveled and get driving down the block and i see my mphs slowing down intensively fast.....i went to go around the block to see if it would disengage, up the hill, it was going up at over 4000rpm and buring rubber because it was slipping as well....came back down fine, parked it and it was smoking and smelt like locked brakes.
2years ago around January in my b-day I spent over 3 weeks trying to get this issue fixed with All American Ford in Hackensack, the issue was that they were out of the parts to replace and i had only one car and neeed it daily so every morning it had the damn locked ebrake. Ended up oneday not being able to move it at all and had to actually get it flatbed-ed right out from my driveway, got out to all american where it took them another 2 days to get the damn part (keep in mine its just a brake cable that's fault and freezes)
Great thing was that it lasted 2 years without doing it til today and now I'm S.O.L since it's out of warranty (have to check into it) or almost out and not suppose to be happening since they technically replaced the faulty part. Wanted to drive it since i probably wont due to the snow storm we are expecting
I can bet that many of you have had this problem, its a known problem by ford and they haven't made it a recall yet but there is a tsb for it. But if anyone has this problem, they should probably get that cable changed under warranty before then.
-- Had to vent...I found driving in reverse loosens it but not this time, i was burning rubber just to get the tire spin in reverse ugh....
