Nothing has really happened but both anti lock brake wires keep rubbing on the rims and whering through I have replaced both sides twice.

Trans went out a month after intake crack had to be replace almost $1,650 together also ball joints and tierod ends no good shock no good brake are falling and rear end is grinding this truck should have never been sold help and there's "more".

Driving down highway and exiting onto my exit, the truck started to run rough and eventually shut off. I had to wait about 1hour for the truck to cool off before it would start again. While waiting for the truck to cool off, I changed the fuel filter. Today, 6/3/15, I can start the truck up and let it run for about a half an hour and shut it off and it will not start back. I wait another half an hour and it will start right up. I can't effort to take it to the shop and pay $50 to $100 for them not to be able to tell me what is wrong or how to fix it.

2003 Ford f150. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle brake issues. The consumer stated when he came to a stop, with his foot on the brake, the vehicle rolled forward. The dealer replaced the hydraulic control unit. Also, the exhaust manifold was cracked.

Vehicle lost all power (in dry climate), including steering, and brakes at approximately 50mph. Came to a stop using the emergency brake. Had two near misses while attempting to come to a stop. Vehicle had to be towed as the ecm (engine control module) was no good. Had prior misfires in engine, which Ford had diagnosed as a bad head valve. After rebuilding the heads, the problem continued (while under use in dry climate). Incident occurred, at which point the vehicle had become disabled. 2nd Ford dealership diagnosed as "electrical problems" which had allegedly caused the vehicle's ecm (engine control module) to short out. No more than 500 miles and/or 3 days after replacement of the ecm and fixing of unspecified "electrical problems" (and in moist climate), vehicle would have periodic misfires which would on occasion be so severe so as to drop all gauges on dash to their "off" positions, but with the engine still running (under stress from supposed misfire which would shake the entire truck). On two later occasions, while idling at a stop light the vehicle would repeat the same condition as with the initial incident, where the vehicle would completely shut-off, with exception that on the repeat occasions, the ecm was still functional and I was able to restart the vehicle. A 3rd Ford dealership was unable to diagnose exact problem but suggested replacement of coils followed by wiring as a possible fix to the misfire. I removed the vehicle to a dry climate and replaced all plugs, coils, and boots for testing. Vehicle successfully functioned under dry, moist, and snowy climates afterwards. Continues in operation and is currently at +/- 155,000 miles.

While driving at any speed the brakes system warning light came on and off on it's own. . The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic could not duplicate the problem.

2003, Ford f150 with less 20,000 miles on it. When the trailer is hooked to the truck it will not stop. The anti lock brakes made a noise. Took vehicle to purchase dealer twice, and dealer said nothing was wrong. Took vehicle to another dealer, and they said the same thing.

When the brakes were depressed, the pedal went all the way to the floor and the consumer's foot accidentally hit the gas pedal which caused the vehicle to accelerate.
