Consumer Description

1) BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. IT WAS SERVICED BY FRIENDLY FORD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, EXTREME SEVERE VIBRATION THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE SAID VEHICLE AT 65 MPH GOING DOWNHILL. THE CONDITION IS WORSE THAN BEFORE IT WAS SERVICED.

TOTALLY GUTLESS WHILE COMING IN TO FREEWAY FROM AN OFFRAMP OR DURING CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. AFTER HOURS OF DRIVING IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL.
