2006 Ford F-350 Brakes Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the brake pedal remained on the floorboard. The vehicle crashed into another vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was restarted but the failure persisted. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the ABS needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 184,000.

CORRUPTED V.I.N CALIBRATION IN PCM CAUSING A.B.S MODULE TO LOCK FRONT BRAKES AND NOT FULLY RELEASE. 2 FRONT ABS SENSORS READ 14% DIFFERENT SPEED FROM REAR CAUSING ABS TO SENSE AN ISSUE WHEN THERE IS NOT AN ACTUAL MECHANICAL ISSUE. WHEN A.B.S TRIES TO SLOW FRONT WHEELS IT DOES NOT FULLY RELEASE FRONT WHEELS CAUSING BRAKES TO OVERHEAT TO THE POINT OF CAUSING BRAKE FIRE. I HAVE WORKED WITH FORD DEALERSHIP TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT THEY CANNOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

THE VEHICLE SHOOK AT 65 MPH AND SHIMMIED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. WE FIRST HAD TIRE ROTATED AND BALANCED AND A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF RIGHT SIDE BALL JOINTS. IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER REPAIR, THE DEALER TOOK US BACK TO LOOK AT THE REAR BRAKES. THE BACKING PLATES HAD FAILED DUE TO RUST AND THE PINS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES HAD PULLED THROUGH. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH ROTORS, BOTH BRAKE SHOES, THE BACKING PLATES AND THE PADS FOR THE DISK BRAKES.
