| The electric brakes on the consumer's 2005 ford f-250 won't engage . *kb the consumer purchased the vehicle because of the built in electric brake system. the consumer thought he had a braking problem with his trailer because he was unable to engage the brake while sitting still. after checking the trailer brakes and finding out that everything was fine the consumer check the truck and found that it had only 3 volts max out. the consumer thought he had a bad brake controller and took the vehicle to the dealer. the dealer checked the controller and found that everything was working as designed. the technician told the consumer that the earlier model 2005 required that the vehicle be moving in excess of 15 mph before receiving enough power to work the electric brakes. the technician also told the consumer that the later model 2005 plus all the ones since have been changed to give max power even at a stand still. now the consumer has to pay extra money to make the system work as it should. *nm | |||

| While driving on pa interstate 81, my 2005 f250 experienced severe driving loss of control when the front suspension travelled over an area of the road that was uneven. this caused the trucks interior and exterior to shake uncontrollably for a long period of time to the extent that the vehicle was shifting into the other lane of traffic. deaccelerating by releasing the gas peddle did not immediately stop the severe vibrations and applying the brakes seemed to increase the problem. my entire family and a non-family member was in the vehicle at the time and we all feared for our lives. after researching the internet, there is a video posted by another ford owner and is exactly what we had experienced too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8euq6f8rgt4&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=pldca2ff5512789e5a) it is known as ' ford f250 death wobble', when viewing the video, the death wobble begins around 1 min 30 sec into the video and needs to be seriously addressed and corrected to prevent this from ever recurring again before someone is killed or hurt... | |||

| 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. the contact called the dealer and was informed that the vehicle was designed to not have trailer brakes when driving less than 15 mph. the contact called the manufacturer and was informed that no compensation would be made because the vehicle was not under recall. on march 23, 2005, the manufacturer made a modification to the brake system in order to correct the failure. 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. | |||
