Description of the problem	I bought my truck in november 2008 brand new. At approximately 13000 miles i had my right front brake caliper freeze up. I was on my way home from work pulled in my driveway got out and saw smoke coming from around my left front wheel. I took it in to the dealership the following day and the dealership had to install a new caliper, pads and rotor. This was all done under warranty, unfortunately this same thing has happened 3 more times - once on the right front,once on the right rear, and again on the left front. The last time was at 48000 miles and i had to pay for the repairs because i was out of warranty. Every incident was the same with the resulting repairs being the same (new caliper, new rotor,and new pads. I hope that something can be done to make ford remedy this situation before someone gets hurt. Living in michigan i drive on slippery roads and if this were to happen on slippery roads i fear what the outcome of the incident may be. This i feel is a very unsafe condition, i pull a 34 foot fifthwheel camper and would not want to experience this while pulling it. I know of at least 5 other trucks with this same problem ranging in years from 2005 to present. Ironically ford has issued a tsb on the 2010-2011 ford superduty for this exact problem. I believe they need to expand the tsb or issue a recall on all of these trucks. I am on the verge of getting rid of my truck because i feel it is not real safe to drive. Hopefully something will be done about this.
