1999 Ford F-250 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

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. *AK

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. *YH

AFTER BRAKE WORK WAS PREFORMED ON VEHICLE. WHEN HAULING AND UPON BRAKING VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES AND THEY STILL WARP AFTER ABOUT 8OOO MILES. *AK

THE REAR WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY, THE BRAKES LOCK UP MOMENTARILY, BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT IT WAS NORMAL, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE BRAKES WERE DANGEROUS. *YH

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT AN EMERGENCY STOP SITUATION IT CAUSED VEHICLE TO PULL TO RIGHT. VEHICLE BEEN IN / OUT OF DEALER SHOP ON THREE OCCASIONS, AND UNABLE TO LOCATE CAUSE. *AK CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE IS STILL PULLING TO THE RIGHT UPON BRAKING. *SLC

BRAKE PADS ARE DISINTEGRATING ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. ALSO, ROTORS ARE SCORED. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER PADS HAD TO BE REPAIRED. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

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. *YH

DEALER REPLACED WARPED ROTORS, CALIPERS AND PADS TO ELIMINATE PULSATING. PULSATION IS BEGINNING TO RECUR.*AK

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.*AK

SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AT TIMES, NOT ALL THE TIME, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPING THE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR CAUSING LONGER STOPPING DISTANCES, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE WENT TO FAR IN A INTERSTATE DUE TO THE BRAKES.

BRAKES VIBRATE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND BRAKING PRESSURES. PROBLEM STARTED AT 12,000 MILES. ACTS LIKE A ROTOR PROBLEM.*AK

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. *AK

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. *AK

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. *AK

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED, AND WERE REPLACED WITHIN A 8,000 TO 10,000 MILE PERIOD, CAUSE UNKNOWN. *AK *ML

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN A PANIC STOP, PEDAL FADES, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS REPLACED BRAKE SYSTEM. *AK

FRONT BRAKES ARE TERRIBLE. VIBRATION, UPON BRAKING, LOUD NOISE WHEN TRUCK FIRST STRARTS. *AK

EVERY 3,000 MILES BRAKES WILL PULSATE DUE TO WARPING OF THE ROTORS, CAUSING WEAR ON BRAKE PADS AND SHOES.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN A PANIC PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED VEHICLE. *AK

THE ROTORS WARP AT 12000 TO 14000 MILE INCREMENTS. THE DEALER WILL ONLY TURN THE ROTORS AND NOT REPLACE THEM TILL THE MINIMUM TOLERANCE IS REACHED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE NEW HEAVIER ROTORS, BUT FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE ROTORS INPICK-UPS SOLD PRIOR TO MAR 99., THIS IS A ENGINEERED SAFETY DEFECT AND I WANT SOME TYPE OF PERMANENT FIX. THANK YOU. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AND WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE WOULD TRAVEL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATON. *AK

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. *AK
