Problems with 2006 Ford F-150 SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Truck began shuddering when braking @ low/high speeds. was told rotors warped @ approximately 6,000mi. dealership had the rotors machined and then adjusted calipers. after driving truck off noticed brake pedal was slightly softer but no longer felt vibration/shuddering. at approximately 9,000mi once gain felt slight shudder/vibration when braking. took truck to dealership with approximately 13,000mi and was told rotors were once again warped. i had ceramic brakes installed @ approximately 24,000mi and new rotors installed @ approximately 30800mi. with the rotors installed significant vibration still occurs when braking at any speed. safety concerns for some time now. apparently shuddering not due to warped rotors as dealership suggested. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated that when applying the brakes the accelerator systematically depressed as well. on the first occasion while traveling 55 mph and the vehicle almost crashed into a train. there have been other incidents where the vehicle could have hit pedestrians and caused other major accidents. these incidences occurred under normal driving conditions. the vehicle was test driven by the dealer however they could not determine the cause of the problem. however the dealer indicated that the problem may be related to the recall pertaining to the speed control switch disconnecting. 08/02/06 contact stated on several occasions, due to the location of the break pedal and the accelerator pedal, contact has mashed both pedals at the same time while trying to stop. *tt

This involves a 2006 ford f-150 4x4 supercrew pickup with automatic transmission and adjustable pedals. on at least 7 occasions i or my uncle have experienced incidents of unintended acceleration with this pickup. all cases occurred when maneuvering the pickup at low speeds, such as parking or backing the pickup up. these unintended accelerations are caused by the foot, while on the brake pedal, coming into contact with the accelerator pedal. the gap between the brake and accelerator pedal is too close, causing a foot that is on the edge of the brake pedal to come into contact with the accelerator pedal when braking. this results in the engine revving up and causing the vehicle to lurch forward approximately 8 to 12 feet, until the brakes are engaged and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. my uncle and myself have experienced this phenomenon on my uncles 2004 ford f-150, which i reported to the nhsta. *jb

On 15 june 2006, my wife was involved in a accident while operating a 2006 ford f150. a vehicle stopped in front of her she pressed the brakes and the vehicle did not responded to her braking action. when i arrived at the scene of the accident, i pressed the brakes and they went to the floor of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to woody andersen ford in huntsville, alabama and the service manager verified that the brakes indeed went to the floor. we waited a week for a ford engineer to verify the problems and he stated that when he drove the vehicle it was okay at that time. these brakes failed my wife at 5 miles an hour and caused her to have an accident. no action has been taken to resolve this issue. *nm

Gas pedal to brake is a 3" lift from gas pedal than apply brakes on new f-150 w/5 speed transmission,this increases time to stop over one second. also the accessory 12v port for phones or ipods etc doesn't shut-off when key is removed,possibly causing a vehicle fire if left unattended for any long length of time. *nm

I currently drive a 2006 ford f-150 which i leased new in march of 2006. since day one i have complained about the brakes on the truck. the brake pedal goes below the gas pedal when the brakes are applied. my wife cannot drive the truck because she constantly hit the brake and gas at the same time. i have checked with other owners and they have the same problem. i have also complained to the dealership and they tell me that this is normal with the new ford trucks. complaints to ford direct have resulted in no response. i also have the problem of hitting the brake and gas at the same time unless i pump the brakes first, in a panic situation there is not time to pump the brakes. this problem is an accident waiting to happen. *ak

2006 f150 fx 4 -4x4 super cab 5.4 l. i traded the exact same truck in an 04 model year for this 2006. ford has refused to fix ( for 3 model years ) : drive train vibration, drive train howl/whine. the 04 was in the shop 6 times with no fix. my 06 in the dealership now. i haven't made the first payment or the first oil change. problems not present on test drive. started at 500 miles. other problems include : brake pedal is mush. it never firms up. it will go to the floor. doors wont shut without slamming. super cab doors wont shut tight without pushing top in. my best fuel economy is 13 mpg highway with the cruise on. the "new" f150's are a disgrace to the ford name. $ 38,000 p.o.s. !! my last ford. *nm
