Five problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1996 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Consumer was taking vehicle in for brake repairs when dealer informed consumer that both front drums were cracked. It was due to vehicle traveling over the mountains. But yet the consumer suppose to have heavy- duty trailer tow package. Consumer feels this is not a normal wear. Condition needs to be looked into.
Rear brakes locked up; cause: left rear brake cable binded, not allowing rear brake shoes to return fully to anchor pins. After parking brakes were applied, vehicle drifted to left, could have caused crash. Dealer will reroute parking brake cable, install windlece on left rear spring bracket to prevent chafing.
Tired to stop vehicle in rain at 40 mph, abs brakes locked up, vehicle skidded, resulting in a collision.
When the streets are slick and wet or on gravel upon applying the brakes the front wheels locked up and driver had no control of the vehicle. The abs only applies to the rear brakes. While driving on wet roads, consumer touched the brake pedal and the truck would not steer or stop, consumer stated on the way to the dealership, the front wheels locked up, consumer was notified that vehicle only came equipped with rear abs, two people were injured in accident.
Abs-when brakes are applied on a slippery surface the rear brakes do not lock. Please describe.
