| Description of the problem | The right front break keeps over heating even after repeated replacement of calipers rotors and pads. The system locked up and caused heat damage to the flexible line connecting the metal line to caliper and all break components. This ocurred less than 5000 miles after complete break replacement on all tires. The mechanic stated that the driver front still had 99% of its pad. After replacing all components it did it again in less than 100 miles. The shop replaced the caliper and pads saying that it must have been a bad caliper but new one already to hot to touch after only 50 miles. Their must be a pressure problem as the driver side is cool to the touch and passenger side you can feel the heat at hood level. The truck was made 2-13 dearborn plant. I have noticed a excessive wear on this side of the vehicle since i have owner it. Bought it new. Problem occurred on the highway |
