Random brake loss due to hydraulic control unit for ABS. The loss of brakes on more than 5 occasions has nearly caused several accidents as brakes fail to engage in traffic situations. The problem cannot be reproduced by automotive repair shops due to the random nature of the events. Inspection of the component does not reveal any problem. The component functions properly 80% of the time. There has never been any warning of any sort prior to the event happening which is why the severity of the incidents are not only surprising but have put me and other drivers at risk. These HCU components have had similar failures in other ford vehicles. Recalls are listed for those vehicles such as the MZk, Fusion, Millan.

There is a very common problem with the brake light always being on due to a short circuit in the cluster, many owners have reported this problem for several manufacturing years, the brake light is always on even though there is no problem with the brakes. This creates a great hazard because if you do have a brake problem since the light is always on you will never know, and you may be in a fatal vehicle accident. Ford motor company should replace or repair all clusters that have this problem.I just purchased this vehicle with this very common problem. Your inspector can google it and will find this is indeed a very common problem.

FORD F-150 FX4 140,000.0 MILES. BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS STARTING AROUND 2010 WITH 76,000.0 MILES. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. REPLACED BRAKE CABLE E-BRAKE SWITCH ETC... EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE CLUSTER AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE WEBSITES THE VERIFY THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGINNING FROM 2004-2010. IN SOME STATES THIS IS AN INDPECTABLE ITEM ADDING ADDITIONAL AND MANDATORY REPAIRS TO BE MADE. THE CLUSTER REPAIR PART COST ANYWHERE FROM $400.00-$600.00 AND WITH LABOR COULD RUN WELL OVER $1000.00 PENDING ON THE MODEL OF THE F-150. MY BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS GONE WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD OR THE NHTSA.

FORD F150 XLT 2006 SHOULD HAVE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT AND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS DRIVING DOWN VT116 (A HILLY, WINDING 2 LANE COUNTRY HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER) IN THE RAIN AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO BUCK AND LOSE POWER. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, SO I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND TRIED TO LIMP IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. THE ENGINE STALLED AND I LOST STEERING AND BRAKING POWER ON A CURVE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES MANUALLY AND WRESTLED THE STEERING WHEEL (WHICH NO LONGER HAD ANY POWER ASSIST). WITH MAJOR DIFFICULTY, I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A CONTROLLED STOP. I WAS THEN ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, LIMPED ALONG AT 15MPH, BUCKING AND STALLING 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE GETTING TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD MY FCM REPLACED (PRIOR WAS 1/5/2013) AND THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST CRASHED MY TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THE PREVIOUS TIME WAS JANUARY 2013 ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD IN WINTER ON SNOW. IF I WAS TOWING MY BOAT ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOST ALL POWER, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH ANYONE AROUND ME. WHY IS IT A DESIGN DEFECT? BECAUSE THIS ELECTRONIC COMPONENT IS INSTALLED IN A WEATHER-EXPOSED AREA ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE AND IS NOT CORROSION-PROOF. IN ANY RUST BELT STATE (OR A PLACE EXPOSED TO SALT), THE CASE WILL CORRODE, EXPOSING THE CIRCUIT BOARD TO WATER, CAUSING THE UNIT TO FAIL. WHY IS IT A SAFETY CONCERN? BECAUSE WHEN THE FCM FAILS, THE ENGINE WILL STALL, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEMS. NHTSA SHOULD FORCE FORD TO DO A MANDATORY RECALL AND REDESIGN THIS POORLY DESIGNED PART. EVEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FAIL AFTER A FEW YEARS. CONSIDERING HOW MANY F150'S ARE ON THE ROAD AND HOW MANY OF THEM CARRY OR TOW HEAVY LOADS, I'D SAY THIS SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR BOTH FORD AND NHTSA. RECALL!

MY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE LIGHT FOR ABS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO INGAGE ON A DRY ROAD. I HAD TO VEAR OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANOTHER TRUCK MAKING A TURN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH A CAR INFRONT OF ME, BEFORE I GOT HOME AND PARKED THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES SHUTTER ON PRESSING THEM AND THEN FAIL TO INGAUGE. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED IN GOODYEAR AZ AT THE FIRD DEALER FOR OVER 800 DOLLARS AND NOW THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. I LIVE IN LAKESIDE ARIZONA AND CANT DRIVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THAT DEALER WITHOUT FEAR OF DYING ON THE SIDE OF A CLIFF IR IN A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE MY BRAKES FAIL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND BRAKES ARE NEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE MOUNTSINS TO GET TO THAT DEALER. VERY UPSET THAT I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM CACTUS JACKS IN PHOENIX AZ. 560 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A TRUCK I CANT DRIVE FOR MY SMALL FARM. I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE IN TBIS TRUCK FOR ONE I CAN TRUST THAT WONT BE THE DEATH OF ME OR MY FAMILY.

WAS DRIVING MY 2006 F-150 OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS IN CANADA. THERE WAS COMPACT SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROADWAY AND I WAS TRAVELING WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO BRAKE, I AS WELL TRIED TO BRAKE ONLY TO FIND MY TRUCK HAD LOST POWER AND WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. I HAD LOST POWER TO MY BRAKES AND STEERING. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BEGIN SLIDING ON THE SNOW AND ICE AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. THE CARS AROUND ME WERE SLOWING AND STOPPING AND I COULD NOT. I BEGAN TO FISH TAIL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS WHILE TRYING DESPERATELY TO CONTROL MY TRUCK WITH NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING, I EVENTUALLY DID A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE SPIN AND SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL WITH OUT ROLLING OVER AND INTO THE DITCH OR SMASHING INTO THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP MY TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AND THE DASH LIGHTS WERE ON. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK WITHOUT ISSUE AND CONTINUED ON WITHOUT ISSUE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS TRUCK, THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO JUST COAST TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THIS LAST INCIDENT ON THE MOUNTAIN PASS HAS CONFIRMED TO ME THAT I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER FORD AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD TRUCKS. I AM CERTAIN THIS HAS CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS IF NOT DEATHS AND THE FACT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES LEFT BEHIND FROM THE EVENTS TO VERIFY THIS HAS HAPPENED WE MAY NEVER KNOW. THE FACT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND ONCE ONLY A MIRACLE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DIDN'T OCCUR I AM DONE WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *TR

WAS SITTING AT A RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK STARTED MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND BACK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING VERY CAREFULLY AND BY PUMPING THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT TOWING MY 6000 POUND BOAT OR GOING DOWNHILL AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. I ASKED IF THIS WAS COMMON SINCE BRAKE LINES ARE NOT AN ITEM THAT ARE ROUTINELY INSPECTED OR REPLACED ON A NORMAL 17 POINT INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL OTHER FORD F150 OWNERS OF VARIOUS MODEL YEARS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. LUCKILY, THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTS OF DEATHS OR SEVERE INJURY, BUT I AM REPORTING THIS TO HOPEFULLY PREVENT A DEATH FROM OCCURRING.

2006 F-150 LOST ALL POWER FUNCTION WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE CAUSE IS A CORROSIVE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. AFTER TAKING WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER I WAS MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ONE THAT FMC REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SIGNAL TO THE CARS AROUND ME THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE - HOWEVER I WAS STILL ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE BEFORE BEING ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

THE TRUCK HAD 83,996 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME OF SERVICE. THE TRUCK WAS RARELY DRIVEN AFTER THAT AND USED ONLY ON SHORT TRIPS.OF 10-20 MILES OR LESS AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES SERVICED. FRIDAY JULY 18TH 2014..THE TUCK HAD ONLY APPROX. 2000 ADDITIONAL MILES ON IT AFTER THE BRAKES WERE SERVICED AT BILL CURRIE FORD.I AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING TO PICKUP A WASHING MACHINE ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY. WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RETURNING THE RIGHT WHEEL BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND SMOKE AND A RUBBER AND PLASTIC SMELL ACCOMPANIED BY SMOKE STARTING RISING FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL WHICH WAS SCOTCHING HOT. THE HEAT WAS SO INTENSE THAT WHEN WE STOPPED THE PLASTIC WHEEL COVER FELL OFF BECAUSE ITS WAS MELTED.IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WERE THE ORIGINAL WORK WAS PERFORMED. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE CALIPER,THAT IT HAD SEIZED AND THAT AFTER ALREADY HAVING REPLACED THE FRONT ROTOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES BEFORE//THE RIGHT ROTOR AND CALIPER AND BRAKE LINE WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN..BECAUSE THEY SAID.."WE CAN'T TELL WHEN A CALIPER WILL FAIL". NOW IT HAS COST ME $2,300,00 TO GET MY BRAKES DONE..WHEN INITIALLY THEY WERE STILL IN SAFE LIMITS.WE WERE LUCKY THIS DIDN'T CAUSE A FIRE OR CAUSE THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
