POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH/BRAKE PEDAL SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN WELDS ACCORDING TO LOCAL FORD SERVICE MANAGER. ENTIRE ASSEMBLY MOVES WHENEVER THE CLUTCH OR BRAKE IS APPLIED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER FORD F150 TRUCKS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. TO HAVE IT REPAIRED IS A COST OF ABOUT $1000.00 TO HAVE THE ASSEMBLY REWELDED. IF THIS WELDMENT SHOULD BECOME MORE BROKEN, IS IT A POSSIBLITY OF THE ASSEMBLY BREAKING COMPLETELY OFF? THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NO BRAKES! IS FORD AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM? THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT IS COMMON. COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.
