| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford f-250 sd. While accelerating, the manual lever on the dashboard that was used to lock the brakes failed.

However, vehicles that were manufactured prior to that date were not repaired; therefore, the contact's vehicle was not included. The failure mileage was a 52,000 and current mileage was 58,000. |
