| Description of the problem | Traveling approximately 10-15 mph slowing to stop at light. Started to apply brakes and engine revved up. Engine was fighting the brakes. Pressed both feet on brakes and still truck did not stop. Pressure in the brakes, so there was fluid in the cylinder. Had to swerve around one vehicle and had to put the vehicle in park to get it to stop. I came within inches of hitting another vehicle. Once i got the vehicle stopped it worked just fine, so i drove it to the dealer. The same thing had happened previously, but the dealership looked at it and said nothing was wrong. This time when i took it in, described the problem and told them it had been in once before, they took me a little more seriously. This is the second time this has happened in 3 months. The truck only has approximately 8,000 miles on it. The dealer has had my truck for two days and can not get it to replicate the problem. They have contacted ford and said they would let me know what they find out. *ak |
