Q: Why are my brakes failing?
My car is a 2012 Ford F-150 XLT 3.7L V6, automatic transmission, with 32k miles. I use it on long drives and also short trips to the store. I was going to buy some groceries, jumped inside the truck, pulled out from my driveway, and then I decided to check the mail before going on the highway. That's when the issue happened. The engine stopped, the steering wheel got very stiff, and the brakes locked. I couldn't press the brake pedal down, no matter how hard I tried. I was only going 5 mph, so I just drive into the curb and let the truck stop on its own. I'm glad I didn't have this happen on the highway. What's wrong with the car, though?
