| Description of the problem | 2004 ford f150 xlt 4wd supercab(brakes constantly squealing)conditions were normal even braking. I never had to slam on the brakes. 've brought my vehicle back to ford dealership three times over a period of 4 months. Corrective actions are scuffing the brake pads and deglazing the rotors. It's fine for a month and the squealing is back as well as a deposit of brake dust on the wheel. I've also had two incidents concerning the electronic accelrator(ford calls this drive by wire as it is digitally controlled acceleration)the trouble light displayed in dash panel twice over a period of 4 months. The last incident caused the vehicle engine to violently sputter and misfire causing loss of power . The vehicle was checked with diagnostic equipment and i was told that nothing appeared wrong with the accelerator module. The brakes i can live with but the electronic accelerator is paramount for the vehicle to function. No accelerator(digital) no go. Loss of power,control and you might cause an accident causing injury to you and others. *ak |
