Description of the problem	I've experienced a recurring problem with the brake calipers on my 05' ford f-250 super duty. It's an intermittent problem of a caliper hanging up or not releasing after braking. The caliper heats up, the truck shakes, sometimes violently and braking ability is diminished. I purchased the truck brand new from the dealership, and it first occurred at 19,000 miles on a front caliper. Ford has since replaced all the calipers at least once under the original warranty, but now refuses to help. I've replaced the rear calipers at my cost with remanufactured ones, and i'm still continuing to have the same problem. I've spoken with other owners of the same vehicle who have also experienced this problem, so it doesn't appear to be an isolated incident. I've been reluctant to get rid of this vehicle because it's paid for in full, and because apart from the obvious brake defect, it isn't otherwise a bad truck. I strongly feel the caliper design is faulty and could easily cause a person to loose steering control if it occurs in a front caliper. I received a notice from ford about a year ago, describing what they termed a "handling anomaly" where the truck shimmies uncontrollably and fails to stop shaking within a few seconds like a "normal shimmy". While ford attributes this to tires and suspension, i believe this is the brake defect that's causing the shimmy. It's easy to tell which individual caliper is sticking as it and often even the wheel will be very hot to the touch while the other three are cool. In fact i've had visible smoke coming from a single brake. It should be easy to investigate this problem-- drive my stupid truck for a week and you'll find it. I'll gladly let you.
