Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC filed June 23, 2006

NHTSA complaint #585998 (ODI reference 10160557) concerns a 2004 FORD F-150 and was filed on June 23, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 22, 2006. The vehicle had 34,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

FELT LIKE A FLAT FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, BUT THERE WAS NO FLAT. HEAVY VIBRATION. DEALER CAN'T SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY WITHOUT DUPLICATING IT. PUT MY HAND ON RIGHT REAR ROTOR, IT WAS HOT AND THE OTHER 3 ROTORS WERE NOT. I SUSPECT IT IS A BAD PISTON IN CALIPER OR A FAULTY E-BRAKE. I AM GOING BACK TO DEALER AGAIN. *NM
