| Description of the problem | The rear breaks lock up on the caliper pins. The calipers and pads have been replaced under warrantee, and three times out of pocket. The ford dealer now says the problem lies in the caliper pin, after locking up buy new pins grease and you are good. This only last until the truck sits 3-5 days. When the breaks lock up the rear break are hot enough to catch on fire and the stopping abilities are impaired. You look on the internet and this is a very common problem with the superduty fords. There is no fix available. We are afraid to drive the vehicle because you never know when they will lock. You may drive to town fine but on the way home it is locked and dangerous. |
