I own a 2006 ford f150 truck with 44,000 miles on it. Over the past month or so it has developed a severe braking issue which when under moderate to heavy braking causes the vehicle to shudder severely and make it difficult to stop. It occurs evertime you apply the brakes. I have spoken to other f150 owners who have had the same issue on the same vehicle and the 2007 model also. The brake pads are in good condition,…

Unintended acceleration has occurred four times within a year on my 2006 ford f150. Happens at low speed when i touch the brake pedal. Pumping or jamming on the brake seems to stop it. This is definitely not a case of my foot hitting both pedals at once. It hasn't caused an accident yet but easily could do so in the wrong situation. I'm filing the most recent incident. *tr

My son was killed in his 2006 ford 150 pickup truck driving 45 miles an hour. His truck apparently left the road with no signs of brakes being applied, flipped several times. The airbags never deployed. His insurance company was threatening me to release the truck from storage which i did. I have since regained my senses enough to search the web and see that there were many recalls on the brake lines of this make…

Pulsating brakes at 12k miles - dealer chose to turn the rotors per ford. Pulsating brakes again at 20k - identified by dealer to turn rotors again - "they are within ford specs requiring turning vs. Replacing". Contacted ford - (of course, those that answer the phone are not technical - so they could not explain the specs or provide them) explained that this is a recurring problem - should replace. Ford had…

I am afraid to drive…
