problem #2

Jul 032008

F-150 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 140,000 miles
The contact owns a 1996 Ford F150. The contact stated that the clutch would not release when the slave cylinder developed a leak. He pulled up to an intersection and depressed the clutch pedal, but the vehicle continued to move. He kept depressing the pedal, but it would not release; therefore, he applied the brakes and turned off the engine simultaneously to prevent a crash. The same failure recurred the following day so the contact stopped driving the vehicle. Through online research, he noticed that many other consumers experienced the same issue. The manufacturer and dealer have not been notified. The current and failure mileages were approximately 140,000. Update 12/16/08 updated 12/18/08.
