Failure of the ABS module has led to a near miss accident that was avoided via steering around the obstruction instead of braking. The obdii module is throwing code C1185 as a part of the failure of the ABS controller..

F-350 4WD 8-cyl

Cross frame member which contains the transmission mount was extremely rusted out and cracked. State safety inspection rep indicated it would not pass inspection in the near future. Ford no longer manufactures the frame member. I was lucky after a long search to find a dealer which still had the part available. Part # is: Xl3Z6A023ca. The vehicle has been operated in warwick NY since new and in northeastern pa since 2007. I believe if the frame member would fail the transmission would drop down. I have photos of the rusted unit. If you care to see them please send an E-mail address and I'll attach them to a E-mail. Something must be done to require manufactures to use better material for pickup truck frames and brake lines. I have also reported problems with brake lines on this truck rusting out. One incident, I reported, occurred after backing up a rv in a campsite after just driving over 150 miles on the interstate highway. Providence protected me as I could have lost the brakes while traveling on the interstate!.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford F-350. While driving approximately 20 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal erroneously traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician advised the contact that the brake lines were corroded and leaking brake fluid. The technician also advised that the brake lines would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
