Ford f 250 safety issue, constantly have to make certain the truck doesn't lurch forward on release. The consumer is having problems with the clutch on the six speed manual and the emergency brake. The clutch releases only 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the floor. The consumer was told that the original had a rubber hose part that allowed expansion when the hydraulic clutch fluid was compressed. The vehicle was found that the problem with the clutch fork was bending. The consumer stated that it is difficult to shift gears causing a pause that could result in someone else rear ending him.

Ford motor company agreed to replace the parking brake front cable and the pedal control assembly. The a/c blew hot air.

While towing a trailer (with equalizer) the left rear emergency brake cable rubbed against inside of left tire causing the brake cables rubber sleeve to wear down to the metal braiding and the tire to be worn down to the sidewall cords (caught before tire rupture) . There isn't a bracket or retaining system in place to prevent this from happening. I had to re-route the cable slightly and restrain it with electrical cable ties. It seems that this condition only happens when the vehicle is under a load. The tire and cable need to be replaced, and are still on hand.

Parking brake cable end pulled off rendering parking brake disabled.
