1999 Ford F-150 brakes complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 106, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At dealership mechanic had placed a six prong hook up for brakes from horse trailer to pickup. Hook up was done incorrectly. Horse trailer would have no brake system. Hook up system was not tested for accuracy. Pick up brakes had worn out twice due to the mistake by hadlen chevrolet.
Brakes had been vibrating, and dealer repaired them under warranty first time, second time was under protest. Presently, brakes are doing it again, and ford will not help with problem. *ak consumer states it has only been 19000 miles after being fixed under warranty and the brake problem has come back again.
Brakes feel spongy and the pedal goes down to the floor. Nlm
For normal braking anti lock brakes will stop, but for panic braking they will not stop and they lock up intermittently, the computer shows no codes so the dealer is unsure how or what to repair.
Brakes began to grab, a tsb was issued stating the brake shoes needed to be replaced, after this repair the brakes still did not perform correctly and the dealer cannot remedy the problem.
I have been to the ford dealer numerous times for these problems and this last time their engineer that came in has noted the problem I have. They consider this normal and acceptable as it is. For being a new truck it should have to be in the shop for all the problems it's had. I have all the service reports if needed. I pray that these problems can be resolved. You may contact me at home if any questions (505‑875‑1288) thank you for your time
