problem #1

Nov 102006

F-150 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles
While braking the vehicle jerks as if the ABS engages and releases continuously the dealership could not find anything wrong. The emergency brake cable broke complete off, cable and covering. After replacing the emergency brake cable I stepped on emergency brake when I parked, heard a pop and later while driving the vehicle the rear left wheel would grab making a grinding sound and slowing the vehicle. Was able to get to a garage where it was discovered that the emergency brake pads had broken off and were binding the braking system.
