This vehicle, as do all, have dual master cylinders, great, always have a front or rear brake system function in an emergency, but this vehicle also has FLEXIBLE to hard lines from master cylinder to ABS unit. I was driving down our long downhill driveway, pressed on the brake pedal, heard a pop and pedal went to the floor, NO brakes at all and buy the time I got to the emergency brake, which did little to stop the truck, I was out in the road. Glad I wasn't out on a highway doing 50MPH. Examined what had happened and the brake line from the master cylinder to ABS unit split where the flexible line joined the hard line, and when that line breaks, no brakes at all, no backup safety system. Don't know how the flexible lines ever passed safety requirements when manufactured, but they certainly shouldn't be on a truck that's 23 years old and all should be replaced with hard lines.

Truck will not go into proper gear. You have to put emergency brake on and put transmission in neutral to crank the vehicle. Then you have to put gear shift into a different gear setting to be able to drive. The auto gear box linkage cable has issues. The truck will not go into park and will result in the vehicle running you over or run into something.

THIS IS A PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION, I HAVE 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE AT DEALERSHIPS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES, I SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON AT NIGHT, ITS BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. THEY SEE THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ON SO THEY THINK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. A SOFTWARE UPDATE ACROSS THE BOARD OF MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE MADE TO NOT TURN ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS UNLESS PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE YEARS AGO

I HAVE A 2000 FORD F150 4X4 5.4 LITER ENGINE WITH NOW MY SECOND BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG. I PAID A LOT FOR THE FIRST SPARK PLUG REPAIR. I KNOW THIS IS A FORD DESIGN PROBLEM - IT IS WELL-KNOWN. IS FORD COMPENSATING CONSUMERS FOR "THEIR" PROBLEM? I ONLY HAVE 140,685 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND DO ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE MYSELF AND THE SPECIFIED INTERVALS. IF FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT THEN IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S REPSONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEM. I AM RETIRED AND NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THIS MYSELF. CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OR ARE YOU IT? FORD MUST COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER FULLY AND NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE CONSUMER AS THE GUINEA PIG AND HAVE US FORK OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR KNOWN BAD DESIGN. THE DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH THREADS IN TO THE HEAD TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN. OVER TIME THE SPARK PLUG LOOSENS UP AND BLOWS OUT DUE TO THE HIGH COMPRESSION OF THE PISTON. ALL MECHANICS K
