While driving, my f150 without warning, died 3 times in 1/2 mile. Leaving me with no power steering, power brakes. Very dangerous. Nearly had a accident. Had 1/2 tank of gas. New battery. It did not give a code. I did get it started each time and was able to drive it home. Now i am afraid to drive it.

The brake warning lite remains on. I'm told by my mechanic that it is due to a broken connection in the dash board circuit board and he said it is a relatively common fault. Repair requires removing the entire dash board and replacement of the circuit board.

Had new brakes installed several years because it was shaking and almost impossible to stop at highway speed. Well it is happening again if you are traveling highway speed. Brakes are very bad again. This vehicle has about 55,000 miles on it and should not have worn out brakes for the second time. Something is terribly wrong with the braking system. I am to the point of being afraid to drive it on the highway…

I was starting the truck to leave a wal-mart parking lot and my left foot which was on the brake went all the way to the floor of the truck. I had no brakes. It was fortunate that i was stopped and not on the road with other cars or going down a steep hill. I had the auto shop tow the truck to the shop. They fixed two brake lines. Complete brake failure should not happen.

I purchased my 2005 f150 with a 5.4l trinitron engine used in 2010. I completed all regular scheduled maintenance using the recommended products, most of it done in ford dealerships. This 5.4l engine is a poor design and should be recalled. It has numerous problems. I had a safety inspection done at a ford dealership and it passed even though it had a ticking sound in the engine and i had hesitation and loss of…

Upon starting my car that morning it backfired and white smoke exited from the exhaust which it has never done before. Once idling i put the truck in reverse with my foot on the brake and my truck rolled down the driveway. I had to depress my brakes with significant force to get it to stop. Upon checking the engine later there is no vacuum detected at the power brake assist. There is a recall on other ford trucks of…

Brake warning light is lit on the dashboard. There is nothing wrong with the brakes. I have read that there is a wiring problem which causes the brake light to stay on. Ford has recalled other f150 model years but not 2005 f150s.

The vehicle has a removable rubber cover on the brake pedal which can come off during braking causing one's foot to come off the pedal. This is what happened causing me to hit the car in front of me as i was coming to a stop. *tr

Constant ticking noise from engine, sounds like a diesel engine, remains ticking the entire time./ when applying brakes either on a hard stop or rolling over traction in road, grinding feeling in pedal and noise and will not stop immediately.-----was told by dealership that the "ticking" was typical for ford and the brakes was part of the antilock system, i do not think so. *tr
