Three problems related to brake pedal and linkage have been reported for the 1998 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brake pedal goes all the way to the floor. If your foot is not completely on the brake pedal, you will press the accelerator pedal. The dealer says this is normal and indeed other Ford f150 s I have checked have the same problem. I have had two close calls because of this problem.
Dealer replaced defective aluminum rim. Braking pedal effort is excessive under normal conditions. Applied brakes in wet conditions, vehicle failed to stop in time.
When traveling upon& depressing the brake pedal, pedal goes passed the accelerator pedal, causing pedal misapplication and unwanted speed, resulting in near accident. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer has yet to replace parts. Please provide any further details.
