In owners' own words
I have had at least four occasions where the abs system didn't function and the rear tires have locked and skidded. The dealer says they cannot test in the shop, and can find nothing wrong. A fellow co-worker with the same model year and F-150 experienced the same problem just yesterday with his truck. The abs system does not go into the pulse mode when the tires lock up and start skidding. Service brakes, hydraulic
Rear anti-lock brakes lock up causing skidding and loss of control, when humid or rain conditions exist. This has occured since the vehicle was new. The dealer told me this was normal, and to drag the brake pedal to cause friction and dry out the drums. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty, the dealer now says that it is caused by a failed sensor, requiring $288.00 In repairs. Service brakes, hydraulic
When abs brakes are applied at times the vehicle pulls to the right or left. Made a right turn , touched the brake pedal lightly and the vehicle went out of control.*Ak consumer states the problem was with the rear drums being out of round, front brakes were replaced at 3500 miles. *Slc Service brakes, hydraulic
