I have 2008 F350 Super Duty Crew Cab. Started getting "check brake system" error msg on control panel. Brakes went clear to the floor 3 times in wet weather, but still stopped me. Dealer claims no error codes in computer, says pins were locked up and I need new pins, rotors, pads for $600. Does this sound right? My husband passed away and I've got to figure this out on my own. Thx!

In my oppinion Factory pads are far better than most aftermarket pads. You can rule out the rotors by taking them down to a mechanic that has a lave. once they start turning the rotors they will be able to tell if the rotors are warped. If your rotor thickness is under the factory minimum they could have become warped over time, which would explain why the problem got worse over time. In that case you need to purchase new rotors and have them machined. Just make sure you replace the old pads with new ones.

SOURCE: tow/haul light comes on gauge shows HOT

Does the trans fluid have a burnt smell and is it brown or dark brown as opposed to a red wine color? If this is the case then you may have a service issue caused by a clogged trans filter which is what this sounds a great deal like and the sooner you get the truck to the dealer or your mechanic the better as the trans in these are not cheap to rebuild or replace.

Instrument panel brake light stays on what does it mean

The brake warning light is for the hydraulic system.
It could be low on fluid or several other things. There may also be a warning light for a dead brake or tail light.

What do brakes and power steering have in common on a 2000F550

If you have the hydroboost system..The powersteering pump gives you power assist while you steer..And it also gives you power assist to your brakes..When you have trouble with the power steering pump,,you lose your assist in your steering and your brakes..Youll get a hard brake pedal feel and it will be hard to steer as well

Power steering fluid is full? Sounds like it might be a power steering pump. It has hydroboost brakes that are controlled by the Power steering.

F350 4x4 extend cab power stroke 107000 miles abs light on i replaced the front hubs wore out and new brakes but abs still on tks jerry

You can try to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and see if the ABS light clears. If not Autozone or Oreillys may have another scanner to fit the ABS diagnostic socket, a free test.

When you did the rear brakes, the emergency brakes inside the rear rotors can sometimes crumble. Need to clean sensors because dirt and brake debris will keep sensors from counting wheel revolutions.

You could also have a ABS diverter valve stuck and not centered. Sometimes its necessary to rebleed to center the part and clear the light.

03 ford f 250 super duty 6.0 brake problem

if you are getting an intermittent soft pedal you may have a problem with the abs or master cylinder. try unplugging the fuse for the abs and see if the problem goes away. (FYI if you do this your abs light will come on and you will have no abs function until you reinstall the fuse)
