Had rotors turned at 32000 miles. In november2 00o, when applying brakes, vehicle vibrated all way to steering wheel. On feb 19, 2001 took vehicle to dealer, who said he could not find a remedy. Rotors were warped.
If this vehicle hits a bump while applying brakes brakes will release and the brake pedal goes to the floor completely and the consumer was un able to stop the vehicle.
Brakes comepletely release when applied and hitting bump in road,must depress pedal to the floor to stop,on several occaisions.I've had three near accidents in past 30 days.
Abs brake system is inoperative, mechanic told consumer that problem was with the sensor wheel inside differential. *ak the brakes require extra pedal pressure to stop.
Dealer replaced warped rotors, calipers and pads to eliminate pulsating. Pulsation is beginning to recur.
Driver was preparing to enter parking space when vehicle suddendly lost all power brakes and steering possibly caused by hydroboost unit loss. *ak consumer states this is the second time the power steering unit has been replaced.
On februaary 3, 2001 my wife was pulling into the customer pickup area of sears in amarillo, texas as she pulled up to the pickup area and removed her foot from the accelerator to apply the brakes, the accelerator stuck and our pickup truck rammed the backend of another pickup truck in from her. She shifted to revers, the engine still running at a rapid speed, to back away from the vehicle that she had rammed. Since the engine ws running at a high speed, our vehicle raced backward. In order to keep from backing tnto someone behindher, she then shifted into forward gear and rammed the pickup in front of her again. All of this time the rear tires were spinning and smoking. After she rammed the pickup the second time, she turned the ignition off to stop the crazy situation. Had she known, of course, that the throttle was going to stay engaged at high speed, she would have killed the engine earlier. The combination of anti-lock brakes and an uncontrollable throttle is a recipe for disastor.
Under warranty rotors machined and brake pads replaced. Second time, rotors machined and new ford part number for pads replaced. Brake failure possibly responsible for accident with injury.
While driving the hydro boost failed causing loss of steering and brakes causing the truck to drift into ditch resulting in damage to the side panel, the consumer believes the brakes and steering should not be designed to be controlled by a common unit. Nlm
1. The parking brake does not disengage after it is engaged. 2. The engine leaks oil between the engine block and the head on the passengers side just above the starter. The engine was replaced after going back the second time for the same problem.
On 7/12/2000 I took the truck to the dealer because of severe vibration when braking from highway speed. At that time the dealer turned the rotors because they were warped. Now 6 months later the problem has re-occurred. Given the information I have found on the internet regarding simular problems from other owners, it can only be concluded that this is a design defect. However, at this time, both the manufacturer and dealer refuse to adequately address the problem.
Brakes vibrate at various speeds and braking pressures. Problem started at 12,000 miles. Acts like a rotor problem.
1.while braking, brakes release when truck hits a bump in the road. Brakes releasing at the wrong time can be very dangerous. 2. Tread seperated from the tire casing (dot number: vnw8 1xl tiresize: 265/175r16)
I brought a used f-250 4x4 with ABS . The fist week using it, failure in stopping was noted. I returned the car , and the deler is checking it. I am very concern about this matter, for my safety and others. I am requesting help, this is normal. I have the same problem with a 98 chev suburban. What I can do to prevent a fatal accident both are big truck.
Front brakes are terrible. Vibration, upon braking, loud noise when truck first strarts.
Whenever brakes are applied and when running over a bump, it causes a momentary loss of brakes. Vehicle been in dealer shop on three occasions, and nothing could be found. Please feel free to provide any further details.
Rotors have been recut 3 times. Brake pads have not needed replacement yet.when I jamed on brakes they vibrated then faded causing a rear end collision.
6 alignments in 24,000 miles, a broken 14mm suspension bolt, a steering gearbox failure, 3 sets of brakes & rotor/caliper replacement indicates major design/material & quality problems. The vehicle has also left me stranded 5 times for other not listed engine related failures. Ford customer relations is useless, could care less & is non-supportive.
Every 3,000 miles brakes will pulsate due to warping of the rotors, causing wear on brake pads and shoes.
The tires are dry rotting with32000miles the dome light stays on had to pull the bulb. The door lock nob on inside of door broke, the brake pad rubber on the pedal I had to replace the new one was worn out the brake pads on the front started squeaking at about 22000 miles the motor uses about one half quart of oil at each oil change and I take it to the dealer( dot number: ? Tire size: lt235/85r1 )
When brakes are applied in a panic stop, pedal fades, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has replaced brake system.
