| Parking Brake Linkage And Cable problems |
While braking the vehicle jerks as if the abs engages and releases continuously the dealership could not find anything wrong. The emergency brake cable broke complete off, cable and covering. After replacing the emergency brake cable I stepped on emergency brake when I parked, heard a pop and later while driving the vehicle the rear left wheel would grab making a grinding sound and slowing the vehicle. Was able to get to a garage where it was discovered that the emergency brake pads had broken off and were binding the braking system.
2003 Ford f150 parked in driveway with no keys in truck. Heard loud pop noise from parking brake. Truck rolled back across street and into a house. Body shop was suppose to have sent to service dept. To ck out but didn't. Service dept has no record of getting truck from body shop. We traded truck in after repairs. We didn't trust it and no one could give us an answer. Ins. Had to pay for house and our truck damages.
