The fuel injection pump CP4 had a catastrophic failure as I was driving on a heavily traveled four lane highway, us rt.20. I lost power steering and brakes. I felt fortunate that I was not towing a 16,000 lb. Fifth wheel camper down a mountain road.I say this because it was extremely difficult to maintain control over the truck steering it and bringing it to a controlled stop. I have read about these pumps failing on numerous diesel Ford and GM trucks. I also feel if a woman or small person had this happen to them the outcome could end in loss of control resulting in injuries even deaths. The only one that knows the actual number of pumps that have failed is the manufacturers, who will not share that information willingly.

Pulling into a parking spot in a parking garage going no more than 3 miles per hour, or however fast this vehicle can go while foot is resting on brake, getting ready to fully brake. As I pressed down on brake to stop, the vehicle continued as if the anti-lock brake system slipped, causing the truck to drive forward crashing through the sheetrock wall and finally stopping after hitting the glass windows. Two weeks later, after all cosmetic repairs were done, the vehicle did the same thing in another parking lot, but luckily broke before hitting the curb and light post. I did feel under my foot on the brake peddle, as I pressed down to stop, a slip of some sort which at the same time caused the vehicle to push forward right before stopping. This is definitely a malfunction of some sort with the anti-lock brake system.
