Abs & tcs warning lights came on, when diagnosed it reads a code b1342 faulty abs control module. i have tried desperately to find a replacement all the dealers seem to have them on back order whit no ship date known. none of the parts houses sell this particular module it is a 1 year part only i called several wrecking yards all over the country and was told this seems to be a common problem. i finally located one but it wasn't easy. how many other 2009 f150 trucks are or will be on the road with faulty brakes and are unable to repair them.

Sudden complete break failure. without any previous breaking problem or indication of breaking system problem the breaking system completely failed under normal driving conditions while the vehicle was decelerating with no pressure on the gas pedal. i was a few hundred yards from a red light and attempted to apply gentle brake pressure, the break pedal gave no resistance, easily pushed to the floor with no breaking capacity whatsoever. the break trouble light came on at the same instant failure occurred. releasing and reapplying the breaks had no effect, only due to my early response to the red light allowed me enough time and distance to use the column shifter to downshift, thus decelerating with the engine until reaching 1st gear. at which point i was able to use the parking break to fully stop the vehicle.
