My name is [xxx] and my wife and I were injured in a rollover accident in my 1999 ford f-350 super duty powerstroke. The accident occurred april 20th,on my driveway due to a failure with the power steering / brake assist pump. The truck was totaled and my wife sustained a severe neck strain and missed five weeks of work. We reported the accident to ford the week of april 22. Our insurance company has retained the services of a traffic accident engineer, and we are working to negotiate a settlement with ford.since I have begun to research the problem with the power assist, I have learned of another accident caused by the same design flaws in the ps/pb pump. In my case the pump failed completely leaving me without any assist in brakes or steering, and due to the fact that I was approaching a switchback that drops at an 18% grade I selected an embankment to stop the vehicle, causing the rollover. I called the federal safety agency today, 8/17, after finding out about your website. I read the comments from the federal safety agency action #ea00017 that showed the investigation closed 7/29 (two weeks ago) with no recall # it seems there is no more information readily forthcoming from the federal safety agency. I would like to find out about your findings and give you more information as well. Please contact me @ [xxx] or via email @ [xxx] y mailing address is parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Right rear calipers caused excessive wear on inside of rotor and wore down to caliper pistons, in the first incident. Two subsequent occurrences, the caliper rebuild kits have leaked. The ford dealer says calipers have to be totally replaced. In discussions w/ parts houses, it was determined that a lot of these same repair items are being required. It would appear that if such large quantities of these items are being sold, a "faulty" design exists with the braking system..

The ABS in this vehicle has been activating during normal braking at stop sighns when there is a bump or slippery surface and takes to long to re-engage the brakes once they have been released, resulting in not stoping until you have passed through the sign.

Excessive wear of all four brake rotors under 25,000 miles. Dealer was contacted, and informed consumer that it was not covered under a recall. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

Front rotors get out of round after about 12,000 miles and must be turned. This is too often and suggests they are undersized for the vehicle. They need to be turned again and I believe that the rotors do not have sufficient facing to permit this.

Brake rotors have been replaced five times due to warping, and they are due again now.
