Description of the problem	In april 2010, my 2008 ford f-250 super duty's right front brake caliper froze, causing the brakes to heat up and begin smoking. The ford dealership claimed to fix the problem in april, but in july, the same thing happened to the front drivers side brake (smoke began billowing from the wheel on the highway). Upon inspection, the ford mechanic found all four brakes on the truck seized, including the front passenger side brake again. The mechanic stated that he sees the problem all the time on the super duty trucks, but ford motor company refused to acknowledge that there is a problem with the brake design on its trucks. So far, the brakes on my truck have seized twice within a three month span, and the dealership more or less assured me it would happen again, and that i would need to take my vehicle in for an expensive brake overhaul every time it occurs. This faulty design not only presents a financial burden because of costly repairs, but also puts my life, and my family's lives, at risk every time i drive this vehicle.
