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.
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.
ON NOW 4 OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD AN ACCELERATOR STUCK IN WIDE OPEN CONDITION. ON 3 OF THEM, IT INVOLVED PASSING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ON THE LATEST (10/22/16), IT HAPPENED ON A HARD ACCELERATION IN CITY CONDITIONS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM SLOW TO FASTER SPEED. IN EACH EVENT, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE DID HOLD BACK SPEED, BUT FULL ACCELERATION RESUMED IF BRAKE WAS RELEASED AT ALL. VERY LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED ACCIDENT / DEATH!
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.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE 30 EAST BOUND JUST EAST OF DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH TRAVELING AT 55 MPH IN MY 2009 F 150. I BEGAN ACCELERATING TO OVERTAKE A SLOWER VEHICLE. THE THROTTLE STUCK AT WHAT SEEM TO BE A WIDE OPEN POSITION, I HAD PASSED THE CAR AND LET OFF THE GAS AND PRESSED THE BRAKE 3 TIMES BEFORE FOR THE TRUCK STOPPED ACCELERATING AND I HAD REACHED A SPEED OF 95 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL. IT SEEMED LIKE THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK FOR AROUND 10 SECONDS, WHICH WAS A VERY SCARY 10 SECONDS. I JUST FINISHED READING A FEW FORUMS WHERE THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE RUBBER FLOOR MATS THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WELL I HAVE NOT PUT FLOOR MATS IN MY TRUCK SO THAT WAS DEFIANTLY NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
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. *TR
