SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN SOUTHERN CAL. THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY. WHEN I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED ME WAS THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THIS BREAK PEDAL THING HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE BUT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 20MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS. I HAVE A 2001 FORD F-150, 4.2 V-6 , SUPER CAB, 4X2, AND AUTO, WITH 50K MILES. I HAVE REPLACED MY MASTER CYLINDER HOPING THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I SAVED THE OLD CYLINDER AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU ALL FOR INSPECTION. I TOOK IT APART MYSELF AND FOUND FOUR SMALL SCRATCHES ON THE HOUSING. *LA

AFTER THE FIRST CONTACT WITH THE GROUND THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER EJECTING BOTH OCCUPANTS. NEITHER OF THE TWO OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING A SEAT BELT. SPEED MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR IN THE ACCIDENT. (NAR)

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM A DEAD START. I WOULD ATTEMPT TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. WHEN IT DID IT WAS WITH A VIOLENT JERK OF THE VEHICLE. THE FORCE OF THE JERK WAS SIMILAR TO BEING IN A ROLLERCOASTER. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY EXPLANATION I WAS GIVEN WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS RUNNING HOT AND FORD NOW REQUIRED AN IN-LINE COOLER FILTER BE INSTALLED ON THE TRANSMISSION AT MY COST SINCE THE INLINE COOLER FILTER WAS NOT ORIGINAL.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS REALLY STIFF SO I STEPPED DOWN HARDER AND THE GAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. I HAD TO USE MY BRAKES UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS AT THE TOP OF A LARGE HILL. I TRIED PUTTING IT INTO NETRAL BUT THE RPMS WENT TO 6. I JUST ABOUT BURNT MY BRAND NEW BRAKES UP. I SLOWED IT DOWN AS MUCH AS I COULD AND THEN PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. MY HUSBAND THEN OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE CABLE WAS STUCK AND WRAPPED UP IN THE ASSEMBLY. ONCE LOOSE THE ACCELERATOR RETURNED TO NORMAL. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING AS I NEARLY WRECKED THE TRUCK GOING DOWN THE HILL WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES CLICKING THE WHOLE TIME.*AK
