Description of the problem | This has happened 4 different occasions, a sudden shaking of vehicle and 4 th time the vehicle shook all over. At first, thought i was having a tire go down but after pulling off road each time, getting out and checking found nothing and then after a restart everything was ok. After i got home after this last spell i started reading on internet and most comments pointed toward parking brake problem. After thinking back it seems like i used the parking brake before each time this happened. I was preparing to replace rotors,pads & parking brake shoes too (yesterday) but after taking everything apart (my mechanic) we did not find any thing wrong with these components. There was probably 3/4 pads left and parking brake was good. The only thing was a lot of brake dust, so we cleaned everything with brake cleaner and put everything back together. Hopefully this will cure the problem. Everything that i read, was expecting the parking brake shoes to come out in pieces but not in this case. This is the only problem after owning this 2005 f150 for over 2 years and being the 2nd owner with low mileage. This just seems to be bad design, rotor & parking brake together. Other than this problem very satisfied with vehicle. |
