We have two 2000 f150 pickups and at 37000 miles the ABS light came on, I've had one pickup repaired and the brakes are not the same I feel this should have been a recall since it was on two different vehicles.
Re: 2000 ford f150. In sept 2003 brakes were grabbing. Took truck into dealer and paid over $600 to replace brakes (front and back). Dealer said rear brake rotors were warped and shoes and pads were also bad. Jan. 14, 2004 - ABS light stays on. Took truck into dealer and was told hcu unit needs to be replaced and it would cost $700, which I don't have. Was told truck could be driven but ABS would not work properly.

Anti locking brakes: when it is raining or wet conditions the first time I use my brakes, the rear brakes will lock up and the rear end will start to bounce. Truck will not stop, will slide instead. The following date is approximate. I took the truck to ennis ford, place of purchase, I thought I needed new brakes. I was told my brakes pads were good. The problem was a defect in the anti-locking brakes system and that ford would not stand behind it. I asked for a description of the problem and was told ford would not allow then to tell me what was wrong. Ennis ford gave me an estimate of $500 - 600 to fix the problem.
I had $1375 worth of maintenance done on my 2000 ford f-150 at mak haik ford on aug.14, 2003, such as transmission & power steering flush, replacing fuel, air & oil filters, new brakes & fixing ABS sensor, etc. When I got home straight from the mak haik, the alarm was acting up. Later, I discovered the cruise control was broken. Two days later, while I was in bww on westheimer, my truck combusted into flames (about 30-40 feet high). The truck is a write-off. Mak haik blew up my truck. I want my $1375 back as well as approx. $32,500 for the truck.
Parking brake assembly "exploded" in the left rear wheel of my vehicle - incident caused the entire vehicle to shudder as if the rear tire had either blown out or "locked" up.
