2004 FORD F-150 — Complaint #664253

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC filed April 3, 2008

NHTSA complaint #664253 (ODI reference 10223285) concerns a 2004 FORD F-150 and was filed on April 3, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 1, 2008. The vehicle had 30,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Louisiana 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

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

I OWN A 2004 F-150. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT TRAVELS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR ON THE FIRST "PUMP." THE PROBLEM IS REMEDIED BY PUMPING THE BRAKE ONCE OR TWICE TO REGAIN A SOLID PEDAL FEEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED TO MY DEALER AND TO NUMEROUS BRAKE SHOPS TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF MY BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS TO THIS DAY. *TR
