problem #12

Feb 261999

(reported on)

F-150

  • miles
Brake system is incapable of generating enough force to lock up wheels, or even make them squeel, on dry road even with empty truck. Veh has rear anti-lock feature but cannot generate enough force to cause feature to activate on dry road. With added cargo weight or trailer stopping distances are extremely long. Returned to dealer 2 times for service. Dealer says all is normal. Brakes are very weak compared to previous trucks I've owned. A friend with same year F-150 has same problem. Brakes are adequate for normal driving empty but with a load or panic stop situation it becomes apparent they are weak. I nearly had an acident when I ran through a red light I could not stop for with a load.
