| Description of the problem | Regards 2005 ford f-250 super duty vin:[xxx] the rear axle back plate / dust shield holds the holding pins for the emergency brake pads rust out around the pins and renders the brakes use less. Which causes the pads to drag on the drum and therefore pour acceleration/ premature damage to pads an drum. I was told by a ford dealer this was a known problem and i would have to pay $300 per plate need 2 so $600 plus four hours in labor. The ford service tenant told me the replacements are in stock and are not known to rust and fail. So i asked others owners and of course they either had the work down at cost or were waiting to have the funds to do so. When your still making payments and paying other bills it's hard to pay for something that shouldn't need to be done this early in the vehicles life. Now i live new england so yeah there's salt and mud / dirt to factor in but i don't put a boat in the water with it or wait until a rain storm to rinse of the salt and mud. According to season and weather conditions. Now i don't know how many or what year range of vehicles where affected. But a recall would make sense. Of course i find this out after i had to replace the front and rear calipers and rubber hoses at 45000 miles but not the brake shoes they were still good. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
