| Description of the problem | Drive in the interstate i felt something tap my shoe and at the same time cruise control deactivated and the hill assist warning light come on. I then tried to accelerate and for a second there nothing happened and then acceleration came back on and it would cut out like traction control is kicking in. Pulled over on to the side of the interstate and found a broken plastic pin looks like a body panel pin on the floormatt. Me being a mechanic something told me to look at my brake light to see if there being activated with no pressure on the brake pedal . The lights were on telling me that this pin had to do something with the brake pedal and the brake light switch. Once i looked under the dash, i did find that this pin came from the brake pedal and was no longer pushing on the brake switch and that's what actually cause my cruise control to shut off and traction control kick in as i were driving on innerstate. I was able to temporarily fix the issue was a body panel pin that i by lock had in my glove box from other projects and was able to get back on the road and make it home . The issue is the this original plastic piece is a certain thickness that if you replace it with a thinner piece you still have the same problem and if you get this to thick you have to push harder on the brake pedal to activate the brake lights and deactivate crouse control, and that's were it can get scary going 70 mph on the interstate and not being able to deactivate the crouse connector. So i call the local ford parts store and the issue is that this plastic pin can not be purchased by itself and that this pin has to be purchased with a $150 pedal. So i looked on the internet to see if maybe this is an issue with this vehicle and i found multiple complaints of the same issue and no recall form ford for this issue witch in my opinion it's a safety issue. 2015 f-150 with 76000 miles. |
