Abs sporadically causes difficulty in pressing the break pedal while rhythmically pulling hard right. Highway or surface speeds. Google has many with the same problem and no fix. No codes are thrown. Dealers are no help. Must disable the ABS by pulling the 60amp fuse.

Traveling approximately 25 MPH on smooth, flat paved road, the rsc (roll stability control) and ABS (anti-lock braking system) lights came on with an annoying loud beep. We also felt a pulsation in the brake pedal when the driver pulled over. He turned the vehicle off and then restarted the vehicle. The warning lights turned off temporarily, but started up again. The problem is intermittent but recurs daily. We took it in to honolulu ford where it was diagnosed for $225.00 and the dealer quoted us $2,100.00 to change both the electronic and hydraulic control units. We asked with such an expensive repair, can they guarantee this will fix the problem. They replied with "no". They wanted to start by changing these units first. I checked online and found a host of complaints from people that have same problem and some that paid for the expensive repair but found the problem only to continue, so naturally I am a skeptic to pay this repair cost and continue with problem. I thought perhaps you can help get ford motor company to look into this problem.

Ford e-series vans. 2009-2012 e150, and e350 both as vans, and as passenger shuttles I am a commercial driver, I've spent my life with ford vans (have not driven 04-08) 09+ newer vans occasionally do not stop below 15mph ABS over sensitive and easily confused by slight downgrades, potholes, sand, rr tracks, light snow over compact snow, wet brick, or slight ice too often I must rely upon downshifting to stop before the intersection numerous vans, various tire conditions (great to poor), all have the same issue can take 13-20 seconds to go from 15mph to 0mph relying on ABS alone, which our other vehicles are just fine on the same stretch of road (stop in about 3-5secs) the ABS is amazingly good on level ground, but slight downgrades + a previous listed element confuses the system and will deny the driver brake pressure the ABS is dangerous in winter (occasionally) I was driving these fans over 40 hours a week, every week since we got them in 09'. I learned to drive on a 94, our work had a 95 and an 03, which were fine in winter (but broke down after my first year of employment there). The 09's and newer were the problem. The traction control set a new level of danger in fluffy snow. Sometimes these rwd vans would understeer, but the tc was over zealous and you could not correct under steer. The tc could not be completely turned off either. So they would be stuck on the ice, and unsteerable in the fluffy stuff I've been driving for 15 years, never had an accident, I study rally racing techniques, and I am shocked these new ford vans made safety regulations "america's drivers should feel confident that anytime they get behind the wheel they can easily maintain control of their vehicles -- especially in the event of an emergency"-ray lahood. These systems should not override driver inputs, professional, experienced drivers inputs.

Was driving normally when the ABS and traction control lights came on and alarm started chiming. When I pulled over to stop the ABS kicked in and my stopping distance greatly increased. I had the van towed to a mechanic where he discovered corrosion in three ABS speed sensors. A tsb (technical service bulletin) confirmed this to be an issue only on this year and model van. Moisture is getting into these sensors and without warning it is causing normal braking failure.

Sudden brake hose failure. 1994 ford diesel e350 w/4-wheel ABS. Brake hose failure due to rusted portion of the hose assembly . The area that rusted away is the crimped connection which joins the rubber hose to the steel fitting at the caliper end of the hose assembly. This rust is not visible while doing a routine inspection of the brake system because it is covered by a rubber sleeve. Apparently water/moisture is collecting under this rubber sleeve and corroding the steel crimped area of the fitting until there is no more of a secure connection of the rubber hose to the steel , then when the brakes are applied and the fluid is pressurized in the brake system the rubber hose will blow away from the steel fitting. (identical failure in the federal safety agency database may 06, 2002 - toms river, nj).

Abs module shorting out because of brake fluid in the module. I heard a loud popping noise just outside my home where my van is parked, less than 2 ft. From the house, and went out to investigate. Smoke was billowing from the drivers side engine compartment, so I raised the hood and disconnected the battery. The smoke was coming from the area of the ABS module, so I removed it and the cover had blown off, and the circuit board inside was fried. This is a potential fire hazard, and yet I was unable to locate a recall about this issue. My van is a 2001 ford e-350. The vehicle was idle, and had not been driven for almost 2 days (it was the weekend), the engine was not running, the keys were not in the ignition, and the van was locked at the time of this incident.

Re: the federal safety agency item number 10021216 most of the vehicles in the dcas managed fleet, as well as most of the vehicles at dept of correction have this condition occurring. This leads to deactivation of the ABS system, and a lack of safe braking under certain conditions. Ford will not extend any warranty consideration once the vehicles have come off warranty. The city of new york is being charged approximately $1,500 for each vehicle needing out of warranty service. Considering the safety nature of this failure, I think ford should have a recall.
