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.

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.

Sudden complete break failure. Without any previous breaking problem or indication of breaking system problem the breaking system completely failed under normal driving conditions while the vehicle was decelerating with no pressure on the gas pedal. I was a few hundred yards from a red light and attempted to apply gentle brake pressure, the break pedal gave no resistance, easily pushed to the floor with no breaking capacity whatsoever. The break trouble light came on at the same instant failure occurred. Releasing and reapplying the breaks had no effect, only due to my early response to the red light allowed me enough time and distance to use the column shifter to downshift, thus decelerating with the engine until reaching 1st gear. At which point I was able to use the parking break to fully stop the vehicle.

I wa traveling on I-20 east traveling from vicksburg, ms heading to atlanta, ga. I had been using the cruise control consistently for about 3 hours. I also was using the accelerate & decelerate buttons on the steering column. I approached a slight curve in birmingham, al with the cruise control locked in at 60 MPH, when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated full throttle. I applied foot pressure to the brake, but the vehicle would not slow down. It continued to accelerate to about 85 MPH. I then somewhat raised up in the seat to apply all the foot pressure I could to the brake. It slowed down slightly. When I took my foot off the brake, it began to speed up again. Next I fumbled with the cruise control buttons to see if they were stuck. The vehicle continued to accelerate. Finally, I moved the gear shift to neutral & the vehicle began to slow down. When I put the vehicle back in drive, everything appeared to be normal. Needless to say, I did not use the cruise control anymore. Thank god, we survived!
When I went to apply brakes, pedal felt awkward and hard, as if no power assist. I was caught by surprise and had to slam on brakes with excessive force. I hit a wall at slow speed and damaged my front bumper. This issue has happened several times of no power assist in mornings when first started. Ford has been unable to replicate it. I am taking to ford today after having a collision. I am scared to drive it.

Deep grooves in front brake rotors after only 2800 miles . Ford replaced left calip turned rotors ; didn't replace pads. After 5800 mi rotors again had deep grooves in rotors. Ford has had truck for 5 days; unable to get rotors is the excuse. I don't know what is happening. I hope they replace both rotors ,pad and the right calip. Rotor s may need to be the ventilated type.

Vibration felt in feet seat and is noticable in items within the cab of the vehicle. Vehicle has had tires replaced, driveline balanced. Ford dealership says the vehcile has an "inherent vibration" and there is nothing they can do. I wonder if this a safety concern?? Why does it vibrate and will something brake? I believe the "inherent vibration" is a defect.
The brake system performs poorly. The brake pedal has a soft feel to it unless I pump the pedal 2 or 3 times. It acts like there is air in the system. The dealer states this feel is normal and took no action. Also, the brakes have on 2 occasions barely worked, I have needed to use both feet full force to get the truck to stop. I took the truck to the dealer today and they state they can find nothing wrong. I have no confidence in the brake system of this vehicle.
