SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT. FIRST WAS THE PASSENGER SLIDE FRONT, THEN THE IN 2008 THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SIDE RUSTED OUT. NOW THE FRONT DRIVER SLIDE BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN OHIO AUGUST 1999. I MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINE IN JUNE OF 2000. WITH THE OCCASIONAL TRIP TO OHIO THE TRUCK HAS BEEN HOUSED IN NORTH CAROLINA FROM 6/1/2000 TO PRESENT DAY. I WOULD EXPECT THIS IF HAD REMAINED IN OHIO BUT NOT FROM A SOUTHERN TRUCK. I QUESTION THE QUALITY OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES. ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE??? *TR

ENGINE
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, BEGAN TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK. ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER AND THEN POWER LOSS. HAD TO MAKE SUDDEN BRAKE TO AVOID HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ONCOMING CAR. ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND FORD HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE AN IMMEDIATE FIX TO THE PROBLEM. HAVE SINCE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A MOISTURE PROBLEM IN THE TURBO COOLERS. THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX AND DO NOT HAVE A FIX DATE. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING THE TRUCK BUT I AM AFRAID THAT THE MOTOR WILL CUT OUT AND CAUSE A CRASH THAT COULD BE FATAL. THE DEALERSHIP WONT GIVE ME ANOTHER TRUCK TO DRIVE IN THE MEAN TIME. I DO NOT HAVE EXTRA VEHICLES TO LEAVE IT PARKED UNTIL THEY FIND A FIX. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IT IS AND FORD CANT FIX IT. *TR
