My pickup truck at only 23 thousand miles in the engine, it's module went bad and brake and ABS lights came on on the dashboard. I took the car to the dealer and they said that I have to replace it and they are charging me 5,400 dollars. They said that some 2009 F150 module were bad from factory, but there's not recalls for it to be fixed by them.
While in motion, light came on brake fluid low. I took it to a mechanic, and we looked, but didn't immediately see any puddle, or sign of rapid loss of fluid, filled master cylinder back up, and drove 15 miles home. On the way, I noticed the pedal was spongy, when I got home, I looked, and had lost 1/4 of the fluid in the master cylinder.I got in the truck, pressed the brake pedal, felt it going down, got out, and saw it was leaking rapidly from a junction of the brake hose going from the master cylinder to the (ABS box?) where it goes from rubber to metal. I got a new one from the dealer today dublin ford, dublin ga. [$33.00] and noticed that is has been much improved over the original. This tells me that ford knew it had a problem, which should have been a recall item, and didn't recall for it. It also tells me that there are probably a bunch of f150's out there that are at risk of brake failure due to the failure of a $33 part.
I turned my truck on after it sat overnight and the ABS and emergency brake lights were illuminated on the dash cluster. Took the truck into a local part store and had a obd2 reader hooked up and it pulled ABS control module code. I took into a auto shop and they were pull the code and decipher what the actual problem was. The ABS control module completely stopped working.
Recently, while driving down the highway, both the ABS light and brake light came illuminated on the instrument panel of my truck. The message center displayed a reading of check brake system. The brakes began to have a pulsation to them and the truck just did not want to come to a complete stop. I took my truck to a mechanical shop where they charged me to diagnose the problem causing these symptoms. Their findings with the diagnostic checks revealed a failed ABS module. No repairs have been made. The truck has been parked in our driveway.
Abs module defective in the truck, power steering going out. Rpm modole not working.
At approximately 86000 miles my ABS and brake warning light illuminated. I took it to my certified mechanic who ran a diagnostic which revealed a failed ABS module. Replacement cost is over $800.00 and with over 233 complaints that we know of, when is your organization going to make ford accountable?

While traveling to work brakes went all the way down to the floor and then my ABS & brake check system light came on has not turned off. Truck is not safe to drive
Abs & tcs warning lights came on, when diagnosed it reads a code b1342 faulty ABS control module. I have tried desperately to find a replacement all the dealers seem to have them on back order whit no ship date known. None of the parts houses sell this particular module it is a 1 year part only I called several wrecking yards all over the country and was told this seems to be a common problem. I finally located one but it wasn't easy. How many other 2009 f150 trucks are or will be on the road with faulty brakes and are unable to repair them.
