1 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem of the 2004 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

I drove the truck home from the automatic car wash (with underflush) and I parked it in my garage. I left for a 10 day vacation an hour after I parked it. When I came home 10 days later I found the truck hood and cab covered in black soot. The entire garage also had a thin film of black soot. As it turns out, the antilock brake control module caught on fire some time after I parked the truck. It caused $4000 damage between the brake control module and other related components. I have a full extended warranty which covered the repairs (initially the dealership told me the warranty would not cover the repair, but I challenged that decision, and the esp people agreed with me).

10 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem of the 1999 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 07/08/2004

I drive a 1999 Ford F-150 pickup truck and have found that failure of either of the front wheel abs sensors makes it nearly impossible to bring the vehicle to a stop. The right sensor failed in April . . . . And I crashed into a wall at our local hospitals parking garage . . Fortunately I was only going 15 mph. ($300 damage to the front bumber - air bags did not deploy) now the left sensor has failed. Same safety issue . . . The vehicle's brake pedal gets very hard and you can not get stopped. My truck is not used for dirty commercial work, it is a family use pickup. I personally do not understand why Ford would put a vehicle on the road that could easily cause brake-loss related crashes. The service rep at our local dealership said this morning, " I always thought when the abs sensor failed, you just had regular brakes. " he knows now this is not true. This same chassis and brake design is probably used on certain Ford SUV's, further extending the problem.
