2001 FORD F-150 — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 70 DEGREES, AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AT 12:30 IN THE AFTERNOON, IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON MY 2001 F150 SUPERCREW. DURING NORMAL BRAKING PROCEDURES, WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE SPACING BETWEEN CARS, NORMAL BRAKING PROCEDURES WERE EMPLOYED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL FROM THE BRAKES. THIS LEFT MY WIFE, THE DRIVER, NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE ROAD SERVICE TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION WITH A SMALLER CAR, IN WHICH SHE HIT A ROAD SIDE FOOD STAND. THE FOOD STAND WAS DESTROYED AND THE TRUCK RECEIVED HEAVY DAMAGE.*AK
