Drivers side front brake line is passing thru the coil spring. While performing the trucks first break job I observed this. The passanger side is OK. Truck has not been any accedent. Dealer said no big deal, it hasn't failed yet. I am the original owner. Truck is not used for plowing or business. To me it looks like it was built with the wrong bracket or to short a line but I know the line should not go thru the spring. The potential for abrasion on the line is high. I have pictures of both sides of break lines.

Truck started missing and backfiring when accelerating from a stop, lost power assist to brakes, limped 1/2 mile to my house. Engine was clattering, missing, stalling and backfiring. Check engine light on code P0307. Broke #7 valve spring(intake), lost keepers, dropped valve, which piston hit, Ford dealer say it needs an engine for $10,300 and no coverage at 69,000. Broken valve springs are a known problem. Dangerous when you lose power assist to brake pedal because of no vacuum. Request Ford service to assist because springs are defective

The contact owns a 2015 fifth wheel solitude (na) travel trailer being hauled by a 2015 Ford F-350. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the wires associated with the brake system. While braking, the brake pedal was difficult to apply and the contact had to use excessive force. The repair shop diagnosed that the wires ran through the middle of the axle, and the coating was worn and caused a short with the wires, which caused the brake failure. The mechanic rewired the wires to the back side of the axle, clamped the wires on the outside, and repaired the travel trailer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no repair recommendation as well as no solution to ensure that the repairs were sufficient. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

Engine stopped once in the road pulling a 40 ft.R.V..intermintley severe loss of power and trying to overheat. Comeing down a 7200 ft. Mountain I lost the R.V. brakes, engine brakes & the tow haul mode (to help slow down) all I had was the truck brakes going around 80 M.P.H. by the time I got stopped all 4 wheels were smokeing cooking the related parts, rotors, brake pads, calipers, wheel bearings in my opinion.later in a town going slow and stopping the brakes pulled violently to the right, a few more traffic lights then violently to the left. Failing to clean the diesel exhaust filter as needed. Sometimes the wipers come on one time when starting the engine. 3 attemps to fix the engine problems and in my mind it is not fixed yet, most of these problems happened at higher altitudes. All this information should be in the trucks black box, since I could have gotten killed twice I have not let the dealer have the truck again as it is running O.K. now and I have ordered a new truck because I am afraid of this truck. The dates are approximate, the dealers and I have a copy of the repair attemps. I was on the same roads two years ago with a 2011 F-250 same engine and a heaver load and did not have any problems.
