Hello - I am a reporter for CTV National News in Toronto and I am researching possible brake failure problems with F150's -- years 2004, 2005 and/or 2006. Has anyone had this problem?
Can anyone recommend an independent mechanic in Canada who specializes in servicing F150's?
Please respond to this thread -- or send me an email at whistleblower@ctv.ca
Thanks so much,
Kathy Tomlinson

 

NO

 

whistleblower??? please lol lol

 

+ 1 on the NO.

 

+ 1 more on no no this should be for owners only.

 

Kathy, not here!

 

Ditto. NO!!!!! The information you seek can be found from the NHTSA or Ford Motor Company itself.

For a reporter, you're not very resourceful...

We are also checking into several other sources -- but I'm still hoping someone on this forum will be helpful, instead of insulting.
Again -- we would like to connect with anyone who may have experienced brake failure problems with their F-150. We are also looking for an independent (non-Ford dealer) mechanic who specializes in servicing Ford trucks.
Thanks again,
Kathy Tomlinson

What part of NO can she not understand ? Eh?

 

Please re-read the terms of use you agreed to when you registered for this site.

Feel free to use the SEARCH button to perform your research while your account is still active. You'll likely find two things: First, you're likely to find numerous 'brake failure' issues. Brake, like any system on a vehicle, can 'fail' in a number of different ways. Searching for 'brake failures' is like searching for 'red flowers.' I don't know that you could get any more vague with the request. Second, you'll be hard-pressed to find many technicians that make a living repairing only Ford vehicles and don't work for a Ford dealership. I don't know how things are up there in Canada, but around here (Dearborn, the heart of Ford country) it's unlikely you'll find an independent shop that works on Fords alone. You'd have better luck running a classified ad.

Finally, in case you haven't noticed, fishing for leads for a story about any type of deficiency on a Ford Truck Enthusiast's board is askin' for trouble. Do you really expect us to point out the weakest member of the pack to a predator?

 

If she thinks we are insulting her now, she doesn't know this forum. Alright who wants to go first?

 

shes never heard of the nhtsa??? that has every recall from every car model ever made.

 

Agreed, and scum like her are why american car companies can't afford to pay their employees, and are outsourcing their work to foreign countries.

 

right. she is definitely responsible for the hard times Ford and GM are having. what brilliant insight.
