1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2023

This vehicle, as do all, have dual master cylinders, great, always have a front or rear brake system function in an emergency, but this vehicle also has flexible to hard lines from master cylinder to abs unit. I was driving down our long downhill driveway, pressed on the brake pedal, heard a pop and pedal went to the floor, no brakes at all and buy the time I got to the emergency brake, which did little to stop the truck, I was out in the road. Glad I wasn't out on a highway doing 50mph. Examined what had happened and the brake line from the master cylinder to abs unit split where the flexible line joined the hard line, and when that line breaks, no brakes at all, no backup safety system. Don't know how the flexible lines ever passed safety requirements when manufactured, but they certainly shouldn't be on a truck that's 23 years old and all should be replaced with hard lines.

5 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2007

A 2000 f150 4x4 with four wheel abs. My mother was driving the truck and when she parked in her driveway she heard a steady low toned clicking sound from under the hood. She called her neighbor over to look in fear of not knowing what the unusual sound was. He found the noise was coming from the abs control unit under the hood and that it was extremely hot. He burned his fingers disconnecting the electrical harness from the unit. The noise stopped and the abs (amber) light is on with the wires unplugged. This is all at the same time my '01 mustang gt bullit had a major problem with its abs system, ref. Odi #10361861 as previously submitted. I haven't had the system checked but thought it odd that both vehicles had overly expensive abs malfunctions at the same time.
