F-150

The emergency / parking brake cable has broken for the second time (previous break reported to NHTSA in 1997 / 1998) break was aprox 7" from pedal end of cable (same place as before). Replacement part # F65Z-2853ba $32.78. Suspect cable is not the problem but the pedal assembly could be designed / manufactured incorrectly causing cable to be pinched / chaffed. I was just lucky that the cable snapped when I was on the flat and not in my inclined driveway! still have cable if you wish to inspect it, will gladly send it to your engineers just give me an address.
