I brought a used F-250 4X4 with ABS. The fist week using it, failure in stopping was noted. I returned the car, and the deler is checking it. I am very concern about this matter, for my safety and others. I am requesting help, this is normal. I have the same problem with a 98 chev Suburban. What I can do to prevent a fatal accident both are big truck.

When brakes are applied in a panic stop, pedal fades, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer has replaced brake system.
- Mullica Hills, NJ, USA
At about every 7000 mile increments my brakes begin to exhibit "brake shudder" a vibration that occurs when the brakes are applied. Not until I was able to obtain a technical service bulliten and show my Ford dealer was I able to get the problem resolved. Followng is the technical service bulletin: Some 1999-2000 Super Duty F-series and 2000 Excursion may exhibit brake vibration or shudder while braking. Engineering has released a new brake pad (P/N F81Z-2001-ea), which is equipped with a "V-spring." The V-spring keeps the brake pad off the rotor, which increases brake pad life and decreases brake shudder and noise. When replacing these brake pad use the pro-cut brake lathe to machine the rotors on the vehicle to a lateral run-out of.001" or less. Besides the shudder the thing that concerns me the most is the vehicle starts to pull to left or right when I apply the brakes. Thank you for you consideration on this issue.L.

The anti-lock braking system locks up intermittently, pulling the vehicle either sharply to the left or to the right.

Reference voq #854737 where my supplied information was incorrectly recorded. While driving and when braking, the vehicle pulls left (into oncoming traffic) the severity of the pull to the left is directly related to the measure of the braking and vehicle speed (e.g. low speed with light braking = moderate pull to the left and higher speeds with firm braking = extreme pull to the left). The Ford dealer has turned all the rotors, replaced a brake line, replaced the pads, realigned the vehicle at least three times, replaced the camber bushings twice, once with Ford factory parts and the last time with after market parts (non-Ford adjustable camber bushings). Reference electronic dealer service report, edsr#17584 generated 05/11/99 by the master technician at joe cooper Ford.
