| Description of the problem | Used emergency brake, released it and was driving on highway at 55 mph. Truck began to shake. Shaking increased to where wipers where bouncing on windshield. I had to slow down and finally pulled off road. I pushed and released my emergency brake several times. This fixed the 'problem'. This issue happened 2 times... After second occurrence, i wd-40'd the emergency brake system and more importantly, quit using it! No problems since. I mentioned to ford and they shrugged their shoulders... |
