Tl* the contact owns a 1989 ford e-350. The contact stated that while exiting from the wheel chair ramp that was attached to the vehicle in a wheel chair, the vehicle independently rolled away and crashed into a gate. The contact was not injured. Additionally, the contact was driving 70 mph and smelled an abnormal and persistent gasoline odor. The contact was able to see gasoline spewing from the vehicle in the rear-view mirror. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact inquired with the manufacturer of nhtsa campaign numbers: 90v101000 (power train) and 91v146000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the vin was not included in either recall. The manufacture was made aware of the failure and declined to provide a remedy to repair the failure. The contact stated that he had experienced both failures. The failure mileage was 103,000.

Intermittently vehicle loses brake power when the brake pedal is depressed, brake pedal goes to the floor and fails to stop the truck. The emergency brakes had to be engaged to stop the vehicle. Master brake cylinder was replaced, but the failure occurred with in 400 miles. Dealership replaced the master cylinder again, and bleed the brakes. However, failure recurred within 1500 miles. Then, dealership indicated that this failure occurred because the brake line was routed behind the engine , which get hot and boiled the fluid.*ak

Brake caliper failed to release, boiling the brake fluid (unbeknownst to me until it came time to apply the brakes). The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I let it up completely and when depressed, it went to the floor once again. I used the transmission (gearing down) and the emergency brake to bring vehicle to a stop. The master cylinder brake indicator light never illuminated. When repairs were completed, the primary fault was identified as extremely rusty front brake calipers. One did not release completely after a brake application, causing sufficient heat buildup to boil the brake fluid. Mechanic said the rear brakes were badly out of adjustment, giving the opinion that was the reason the master cylinder indicator light did not illuminate. Until this incident occurred, i did not know that it was incumbent on the vehicle operator to occasionally make reverse moves with aggressive brake applications (done several times) to cinch up the rear brake adjustment. Thus, over time, the front brakes were basically doing almost all the braking effort. If i had had the presence of mind to pump the brake pedal repeatedly, i perhaps could have caused the rear brakes to engage, and bring the vehicle to a stop without downgearing and using the emergency brake.*ak
