AT HIGH SPEED, ON LONG SUSTAINED, STEEP GRADES 5-7%, AT HIGH RPM, THE STEERING LOCKS UP FOR 2-10 SECONDS. THE STEERING MAKES A NOISE AND THEN BREAKS FREE. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND CAN NOT REPRODUCE THIS EVENT. EVERY TIME I DRIVE INTO THE COLORADO MOUNTAINS THIS PROBLEMS RECURS. THIS PROBLEM NEVER SHOWS UP ON FLAT TERRAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT 5 OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN BUT THAT NO ONE HAS EVER REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM. *JB ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****769312

SERVICE BRAKES
THE HYDRALIC CONTROLLER WENT OUT AFTER GETTING THE BRAKES REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THEIR WAS NO WARNING THAT THE PUMP HAD GONE OUT. THIS ALLOWED THE BRAKES TO FAIL MAKING THE CAR A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. I WAS INFORMED BY THE FORD SERVICE TECHNICIAN THERE WAS NOT A WARNING LIGHT OF FAILURE, WAY TO CHECK IT, AND THE PART WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO FAIL. THIS CAUSING A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT GOES OUT. I HAVE GOT THE OLD PART WHICH COST OVER $1000.00. *TR
