Description of the problem	The parking brake on our 2004 f-150 froze in the 'on' position. This wasn't obvious until the car got to about 45 mph, when it would vibrate quite violently. The only fix was to pull over and work the brake several times. This is extremely dangerous if you are accelerating to join traffic on a busy highway! This was an intermittent problem which was reported to the dealer, but they could not duplicate it during their testing. It turns out that the parking brake expanders (actuators) were corroded to the point of one of them (driver side) being frozen. After finally having the dealer figure it out, i researched this problem on the various f-150 bulletin boards and found that this is a common problem. I also found that ford has issued updated parts to correct the corrosion problem. In our case, the dealer replaced the affected parts with the updated parts.
