Brake Abs Warning Light Problems of Ford F-250

While driving back home from shopping my brakes (anti-lock style) locked up and violently shook my vehicle all over the road I was driving on. I had limited or no control at all of this incident. Was doing about 40 mph. Truck acted as if brakes were applied on and off 50/60 times so fast that there was nothing to do but hang on to the steering wheel. At one point I thought I was going to flip over as the truck went sideways. Steering went from side to side at first, then a constant pull to the right. I thought one of my front tires was blown out. Slowed down enough to gain some control but it took my truck over a curb and stopped on a sidewalk and some grass. When I did apply the brakes nothing happened until I was on the sidewalk and going very slow by this time. Got out and inspected my truck for damage but saw nothing. Was only about . 3 miles from home so I started my vehicle and limed it home at walking speed. When I tried to go a little faster it would start jumping and shaking again. Got it home and that is when I noticed the abs light was on. It was not on when I started home from the store. This happened so fast that I am glad no one was in another lane. This happened on a 3 lane each direction road. All this occurred on July 4th at about 10:47 a. M.

I was on the interstate and attempting to get off at an exit when I touched the brakes they grabbed hard, the abs light came on, the abs whine started but I did not have my foot on the brakes. This caused steering to be almost impossible and there where significant downgrades on both sides of the road. While using force to turn the sterring wheel to the right to keep from goin over the embankment thye brakes released which cause me to almost go over the embanckment on the right. The brakes keep grabbing and releasing until I was able to pull off the roadway. The vehicle was towed to t he dealership and I am waiting to hear from them. This could have caused serious injury or death had the truck gone over the embankment on either side. I'm used to driving and stay pretty alert but there are those that this would have made them freeze up and it would have ended in tragedy!.

Very intermittent incidents of false abs cycles when braking to a stop from a low speed. This severely extends the stopping distance which could result in a collision into stopped vehicles. Most of the incidents have occurred on dry pavement. The abs warning light does not come on during the incidents. This same problem is described in NHTSA item numbers sb604767 and sb606515. Will be taking to Ford dealer, but it will be highly unlikely that they will be able to duplicate the problem.
