| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 ford f-250 superduty. while the vehicle was in a stationary position, the brake controller did not detect the trailer being attached to the vehicle. this indicated that the brakes were inoperative. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to the aftermarket seven pin connecter. the vehicle was repaired. the contact was concerned of the safety risk involved because when water leaks into the connecter, there will be a malfunction with the brakes. the failure mileage was 28,000 and current mileage was 31,000. | |||

| The ford electric brake controller in my 05 ford superduty f250 stops working when i encounter rough pavement. if i am coming to a stop, and the intersection is rough, the led indicator on the brake controller drops to only one light illuminated out of ten possible, and the trailer brakes stop working. i can gain trailer brakes back by either fully releasing the brake pedal and re-applying or by reaching down and grabbing the manual slide control on the brake controller. this has happened to me with all three trailers i tow. it is very disconcerting and bound to cause an accident at some point when i am trying to stop a 15,000lb load. the dealer replaced the controller once, and since has said there is no problem found. *nm | |||

| Dt: the trailer brake controller is built right into the truck. does not have any brake control if going under 15-20 mph. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer. this brake only put on 1-3 volts which they changed. but talked to dexter ,they said it needed 2-12 volts. ford changed this part on march 23, 2005, and the vehicle was manufactured on february 28,2005. dealer stated other consumers complained about this problem.*ak | |||

| Both rear brakes burning, then left front. loss of braking. broghut to dealer to have repaired. after having it repaired ( not covered under extended or other warrantee and spending $1100.00) i was told it was due to not driving the truck enough. drove the truck the next day and the right rear brake was burning again and lost all brakes. again towed back to the dealership at which point it was explained to me that the model year 2005 has had a problem with the brakes freezing in the calipers consisitently, however ford has not had any recalls. i was also advised there has been a re-design of the brake pads, which my original pads had not changed, but still had brake material. | |||
