Seven problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 2002 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Brakes and steering wheel shake when the brakes are applied. Consumer was informed by dealer that new brakes and rotors were needed.
When driving on icy or snowy roads the abs engaged, it stayed released for 3-4 seconds. This resulted in the vehicle free wheeling. As a result, the vehicle rear ended another vehicle. The dealership indicated that the abs were working normal. The abs released itself. The consumer requested reimbursement.
Abs braking system made a loud hollow sound when brakes were applied. There was vibration and trembling throughout the brake pedal.
When the brakes were being applied vehicle would pull to left or right. .
When applying brakes in emergency situations pedal feels hard, and there is no braking action, at any speed. Vehicle not taken to dealer yet.
When applying the brakes hard as in near emergency baking the steering system becomes inoperable. Sometimes it feels as if power steering is lost, other times it feels as if the steering locks up. I feel this is a fatal design flaw and goes totally against all information that the use of anti lock brakes should be a "stomp-stay-and steer" process. I no longer feel safe driving this truck in heavy traffic.
Consumer notice while depressing the brake pedal brakes locked up causing consumer unable to steer. Dealer has been notified. Please provide further information. Ts.
