I OWNED A 1994 FORD F-250 4X4 AND FROM DAY ONE THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAD A PROBLEM. WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE INSTEAD OF WORKING THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSE TO THE BRAKE PETAL WOULD JUST BOTTOM OUT AND THAT WOULD RESULT IN FAILURE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE RESULT OF WHICH CAUSED MORE THAN A FEW CRASHES WITH THE TRUCK. MY EMPLOYER'S BROTHER WAS A MECHANIC FOR A FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE ANTI LOCK COMPUTER ON MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLE'S OF THAT MODEL YEAR SAYING THAT IF A VEHICLE CAME IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICE TO CHECK THE NUMBER OF THE COMPUTER AND IF IT WAS ANY DIFFERENT THAN ONE CERTAIN NUMBER. TO REPLACE IT WITH OUT THE OWNER KNOWING IT WAS REPLACED. SEEING AS I DO ALL THE WORK ON MY VEHICLE'S MYSELF MY TRUCK NEVER SAW ANY DEALER FOR REPAIRS AS MY 5/60 WARRANTY DID NOT LAST ME MORE THAN 2.5 YEARS. AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE DURING THOSE 2.5 YEARS EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IS THERE ANY WAY FOR YOU PEOPLE TO CHECK INTO THIS NOTICE TO SEE IF IT IS TRUE? THE RESULT OF THESE CRASHES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS CAUSED MY INSURANCE RATES TO RISE TO A RIDICULOUS FIGURE. I KNOW IT COULD BE SAID IT IS JUST THE WAY I DRIVE. HOWEVER I HAVE DRIVING MANY A COMPANY VEHICLE IN MY MANY YEARS IN THE CONSTRUCTION TRADE. FROM PICKUPS TO DUMP TRUCKS TOWING BULLDOZERS AND NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS WITH A COMPANY TRUCK. *TR
