Service Brakes · reported Jun 7, 2023
The brakes on the Ford chassis were damaged due to extreme heat before the unit was sold to me and have been damaged 2 additional times due to extreme heat in the first 3,500 miles. The unit was purchased new and had 1,460 miles when purchased in August 2022. Ford is attempting to repair the vehicle again and have had the unit in their possession for 9 months. We are concerned with a brake failure or fire hazard and have asked the manufacturer to repurchase the unit from us under the Texas Lemon Law.

Ford say they are working on a fix coming soon, but they have been saying that for the…

Nuisance service advance trac light illuminates which in turn disables hill assist, abs and cruise control. Will reset when ignition is recycled. However no ABS on a large vehicle in adverse weather is unsettling. It’s my understanding that this is a frequent issue in the new Ford F53 chassis. Many consumers have reported dealerships are unable to determine the exact cause and only have the fault(s) return. I have reported this issue to the Ford Rv assistance division along with many others. I am unsure if ford is investigating appropriately to find a hard fix. Please contact Ford to make…
