Consumer Description

I HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE POWER BRAKES ON MY '05 FORD F-150 DUE TO A VACUUM VALVE THAT IS LOCATED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MOTOR MIDWAY DOWN OF THE MOTOR ON THE BACK SIDE BETWEEN MOTOR AND FIREWALL. THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM DUE TO MY TRUCK HAVING 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE REMEDY IS TO GET THE 30$ VALVE AND REMOVE THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR JUST TO GET TO THE VACUUM VALVE, DUE TO THE LABOR INTENSIVENESS OF THE JOB LABOR IS $400. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE MANUAL BRAKES WHEN THIS VACUUM LINE COMES OFF IN ADDITION TO A ROUGH RUNNING TRUCK. *CN
