Description of the problem	I have had brake problems since vehicle was purchased. The latest is the brakes locking up (mostly front) and the wheels getting so hot you can smell them burning and you can't touch the wheel. I have had the vehicle serviced several times at several different service stations starting at the dealer and the problem keeps returning. I have had new rotors installed several times (5), new calipers twice, new brake hoses, flush and fill brake fluid and had the master cylinder push rod adjusted only to have the same problem continue. I have looked online at the forums about f-150's and i am not alone and no one has any answers. I emailed ford asking for help and they advised me to see the dealer which i already have several times and every time they say they can't duplicate the problem and the last time they adjusted the push rod which lasted a little while. I have spent thousands trying to fix this problem and i'm afraid to drive it.
