problem #7

Jun 012017

F-150

  • 120,000 miles
The right front flexible brake line deteriorated at the crimped fitting. The deterioration is on the inside of the line at the crimp. The deterioration acts like a check valve allowing the application of the brake but not release of braking pressure. I have verified this on three (3) replacements. The original line was replaced at about 120K and non oem at about 20K.

F-150

  • 68,000 miles
I turned my truck on after it sat overnight and the ABS and emergency brake lights were illuminated on the dash cluster. Took the truck into a local part store and had a obd2 reader hooked up and it pulled ABS control module code. I took into a auto shop and they were pull the code and decipher what the actual problem was. The ABS control module completely stopped working.

F-150

  • 109,000 miles
While driving at approximately 30 mph a rear wheel locked up causing the truck to turn to one side. Travelling a little further it happened again. I turned the truck around and headed back to my house. Two or three times again a rear wheel locked up causing a lack of control. If I was at highway speed, the vehicle would have caused an accident as the condition would cause the truck to go sideways.

problem #2

Apr 142011

F-150 8-cyl

  • 43,000 miles
While driving 2009 Ford F150 at freeway speed the front right wheel separated. When the wheel separated it made heavy contact with the brake caliper and some contact with the upper A-arm of the suspension causing vehicle to momentarily loose control, crossing lanes of traffic. Fortunately the roads were relatively unoccupied and there was no collision. The wheel had no previous damage and had not been involved in any previous accidents. The tire mounted on the wheel had aprox 800 miles of use. Ford currently has the wheel and will be inspecting the vehicle in the next few days. I assume that replacement of the wheel, tire, brake caliper ant pms sensor will be necessary.

All 5 rims on 2009 Ford Ranger show evidence of failure/cracks. Ford technician recommended replacement of all rims. Veh currently has 5965 miles (see report 10307412 and 10311415)(fs id 1235) usda forest service gwjeff completed a fleet wide inspection of all Ford vehicles with steel wheels. This is the 5th incident of this nature. I currently have 10 rims from various veh after being replaced by Ford technicians. Recommend Ford initiate a recall on steel wheels to determine if this is a fleet wide problem.
