| Description of the problem | This safety concern occurred on a 2011, ford f250, with "26,400" miles on it. Upon leaving my residence, the truck felt sluggish, as if the emergency brake was on. I never use the emergency brake, but checked anyway to confirm it was not set. I pulled over and existed the vehicle, and immediately noticed a burning odor. The odor came from the driver side front wheel. I reached in to feel the rotor and burned my finger tips from the heat. As a precaution, i checked the remaining wheels and all exhibited very high heat with a burning odor. Luckily, i was within an 1/8 mile of s service station. The mechanic inspected and determined all four brakes had seized due to corrosion. Two calipers were salvageable, two were not. The repair was made with the calipers held for the local ford dealer for review, and disposition, but the ford dealer showed no interest, and had declined to personally examine the corroded calipers. The truck was 21 days out of calendar warranty. |
