NHTSA complaint #761292, filed 2002-04“I have had a recuring problem with brake pulsation, that seems to result in the failure of the antilock brake system on this vehicle. I have notified the dealer and made a complaint to Ford's customer service department. The last time the brakes started pulsating on this truck I had to make an emergency stop. When I engaged and held the brake pedal my truck slid side ways on the expressway into the median. I thought antilock brakes were supposed to allow the driver to maintain control in these types of situations. …”
