The initial brake pedal press is soft and travels nearly to the floorboard. A quick subsequent press of the brake pedal, or "pumping the brakes," changes the pedal travel and sensitivity. This condition has eluded repeated repair attempts by the service center and the chassis manufacturer's team of engineers.
Rear Sway Bar Bracket manufactured from weak cast iron. Known problem and FORD will do nothing to fix it except to replace with same faulty part.
