Hey guys, though I’ve always loved my bronco, the one thing that I’ve always despised about it (aside from the unreadable tach-but that’s another post) is the absence of a mechanical parking brake. I have the 7 speed, so every time I park the vehicle, I have anxiety: did the brake actually engage? Am I going to roll away? I set the brake and leave the car in gear just to be sure.
Now the big F-150 recall for what I presume is a similar electronic brake. Might come on while car is in motion apparently. A whole new thing way for an E brake to fail.
what do you all think? Do you wish, like I do, that Ford would cut pennies somewhere else and leave time tested safety equipment mechanical?
[EDIT: this is a post about whether people like or trust an electronic e brake, or if they wish the brake was mechanical. I’m not looking for advice on how to keep my Bronco from rolling, etc.]
