OUR 1994 FORD F-350 WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE ORIGINATING AT THE MASTER CYLINDER TODAY. THERE WAS A SMALL BRAKE FLUID LEAK NOTICED IN THIS AREA THE OTHER DAY; BUT I WAS UNAWARE OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUTOFF SWITCH DANGER UNTIL AFTER THE FIRE. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE.

BRAKE FADE. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, PEDAL WILL SINK SLOWLY BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ACTIVE A WARNING LIGHT. IF PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED HARDER VEHICLE WILL ROLL. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST VEHICLE TO DO THIS AND HAS CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. VEHICLE STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY. MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, STILL NOT FIXED.*AK

THE HOMESTEADER 820CT 2000 TRAILER IS BEING TOWED BY THE TRUCK CHAISE LISTED BELOW. THE TRAILERS TIRES ARE CAVING INWARDS AFTER ONLY BEING USED TWICE. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE DOUBLE AXLES BENT. A DMV REPRESENTATIVE WEIGHED THE TRAILER LOADED AND FOUND THAT THE TRAILER WAS UNDER LOADED ,AND THE AXLES WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER. THE TRAILER AND THE AXLE MANUFACTURERS WERE CONTACTED, BUT PROVIDED NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, THEY WERE BLAMING EACH OTHER.*AK
