Complaint for Ford F250 2001

Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC : ANTILOCK

Consumer Complaint:
I HAVE HAD THREE INCEDENTS IN WHICH I HAD TO USE HEAVY BRAKING TO TO AVOID AN SOMETHING. ALL OF THESE INCEDENTS WHERE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. IN THE FIRST INCEDENT I HAD TO MAKE A HEAVY EMERGENCY APPLICATION ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I DID THIS THE TRUCK PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT ALMOST CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. IT APPEARED THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. SINCE THEN I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO DUPLICAT THIS SITUATION. IT DOES NOT ALLWAYS DO IT TO AS A SEVERE DEGREE. BUT I HAVE GOT IT TO VIOLENTLY PULL THE TRUCK TO THE LEFT ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. I AM A ABOVE AVERAGE DRIVER BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN A DEPUTY SHERIFF FOR ABOUT 16 YEARS AND HAVE HAD ALOT OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING IN DRIVING IN EXTREME CONDITIONS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THIS TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER OR ROTATED THE TIRES BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE NHTSA WANTS TO DRIVE ONE OF THESE TRUCKS BEFORE ANY WORK IS DONE ON THEM. I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO LET YOU DRIVE THIS VEHICLE . PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE. *AK
