Description of the problem	Approx two years ago i replaced the front brakes on my 2004 f-150 super crew. Upon removing the right side caliper i discovered that one of the two pistons was cracked. I also found it to be leaking fluid. I then removed the left side to find the exact same cylinder in that side cracked however not yet leaking. Upon taking my truck to my local ford dealer i was told there was nothing they could do. My after market warranty company advised they did not cover this either and that the problem was caused by me. I am only bringing this to someone's attention now because i simply was not aware of this site. Also three weeks ago i changed the brakes again and observed the cylinders appeared to be brittle and would not make it to the next brake change. Now my brakes are mysteriously loosing pressure.
