SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2008, I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY 2006 FORD F-150 AND STOPPED FOR GAS. UPON ENGINE RESTART I HEARD A BACKFIRE AND SMELLED A PECULIAR ODOR. I CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND NOTHING UNUSUAL. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING EITHER. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER VISUAL REFERENCE TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS (100 MILES) AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY. WHILE ON THE EXIT RAMP I APPLIED THE BRAKES ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THEY WERE EXTREMELY HARD TO DEPRESS AND WERE INEFFECTIVE. I MANAGED TO GUIDE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GEARING DOWN AND WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING VEHICLES STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE END OF THE RAMP. I DISCOVERED LATER (AFTER BEING TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP) THAT THE VACUUM LINE FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD RUPTURED (OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE BACKFIRED) LEAVING NO POWER ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE WAS NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THERE WERE NO CODES FROM THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. I HAD TRAVELED FOR 2 HOURS AND 100 MILES WITH NO BRAKES UNAWARE OF THE EXISTING HAZARD. THE DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE ABSENCE OF ANY WARNING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STRUCTURE
THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED OCT, 2006. JUNE, 2007 UPON APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE DID NOT DECELERATE FOR APPROX. 2 SEC. JULY, 2007 WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE TO SLOW FOR A LEFT TURN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DECELERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 SEC. THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 5000 RPMS. AS I TOOK THE DITCH, THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. NOV, 2007 I STARTED MY TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY. AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 5000 RPMS. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS AS THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SQUEALED, LEAVING BLACK TREAD MARKS IN MY DRIVE. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION DID NOT STOP. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK IT IDLED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, CLAIMING THAT SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEC, 2007 WHILE IN BUSY TRAFFIC IN THE RAIN AND DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE. THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 6000 RPMS, NEARLY REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT FOR A WEEK AND FOUND NOTHING. IT WAS RETURNED TO US WITH A BLACK BOX INSTALLED CALLED A "FLIGHT RECORDER". WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DEVICE AT THE NEXT OCCURRENCE TO CAPTURE DATA TO "PROVE" THE PROBLEM. THE FIFTH INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY FEB 2, 2008. AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 6000 RPMS. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SQUEALED, LEAVING TREAD MARKS ON THE DRIVE. I PRESSED THE BUTTON ON THE FLIGHT RECORDER AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AFTER A WEEKS TIME AND INSPECTION BY A COMPANY ENGINEER, WE WERE ADVISED THE CAPTURED INFORMATION HAD BEEN LOST AND THAT THE ENGINEER BELIEVED I WAS ACCIDENTALLY STANDING ON THE ACCELERATOR IN LIEU OF THE BRAKE. *TR
