“The contact owns a 2004 Ford f 250 sd. While driving 45 MPH he heard a loud noise in the rear of the vehicle. After removing the rear tires he found that the brake lining was off of the brake shoe and broke into several pieces. The emergency brake cable caused the failure when it broke. The driver side window was off track and failed to close after it was opened. The transmission made noise while driving at various speeds. The dealer repaired the valve body sensor and the valve train; however, the failure continued to occur. …”
