THE "ABS" LIGHT ON MY CAR (1999 FORD TAURUS SHO )CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, SUN STATE FORD, AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A REPLACEMENT ABS MODULE (PART#F8DZ2C219DA). I WAS FURTHER TOLD THAT THE PART WAS OBSOLETE AND UNAVAILABLE. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECTLY ON SEVEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS...EACH TIME THEY EMAILED ME A DIFFERENT "OBSOLETE PARTS VENDOR TO CONTACT...EACH TIME TO NO AVAIL. ON 6/5, IN THEIR FINAL RESPONSE TO ME, FORD INDICATED THAT THEY FELT THEY HAD RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY AND WOULD DO NOTHING ELSE TO HELP. IN THE MEANTIME, THE ABS ON MY CAR STILL DOES NOT WORK AND I AM NO CLOSER TO A RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE THAT I FEEL FORD NEEDS TO ADDR

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN WHICH I LIVE GOING 30 MPH, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY. MY 11 YEAR OLD WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. SUDDENLY THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TURN INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE MORE I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE THE FASTER THE CAR WOULD SPEED GOING FROM 30 MPH TO 70 MPH. I FLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN ONTO A HEAVILY TRAVELED TRUCK ROUTE SLAMMING INTO A KIA SUV. THE OTHER PASSENGER BROKE RIBS, A DOG WAS EJECTED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CAR WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE VEHICLE WAS THE CRASH ITSELF SPINNING MY CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. A TOTAL NIGHTM
