• Ford Mondeo 2009: Grabbing brakes?

  It's not my experience that the brakes on European cars, or Fords, grab as you say yours does. Take it to an independent and reputable brake service outlet and have then assess it for you, and if they agree with you, take it back to the dealer and request it be fixed.

• Why does my 2009 Ford Mondeo keep going into limp mode?

  It sounds like the stability-control program is throwing up random fault codes that are telling the on-board computer that something’s wrong with this very important piece of safety technology. At that point, the protocol could be to send the car into limp-home mode to avoid having a faulty stability-control system create any problems that could cause a crash. But who knows, because there are literally hundreds of systems on a modern car that could cause this sort of malfunction.

  Because the ESP light only comes on sometimes before the limp-home condition occurs, perhaps the two are related but not reliant on each other. While the engine limp-home mode is usually associated with a problem under the bonnet, the ESP light is more likely to be triggered by a problem with the braking or throttle-by-wire system. Certainly, the latter could also trigger a limp-home response from the engine.

  Have the car scanned by a workshop and see what fault codes pop their heads up. That will save a lot of time and money compared with changing components until you find the one at fault.
