2005 Ford F-250 Brakes Problems

“This is the first of four times that I have had to have brake work done on my truck. Three of the times I was told that the calipers had frozen and so calipers pads and (except this last time) rotors had to be replaced. This is absurd for a truck with less than 45,000 miles. Understand this is expensive!! Have never had anything like this on any other vehicle. Also, I have experienced the oft talked about death wobble a few times on the highway. Was rear brakes in 2010' fronts in 2011' now rears again in 2013.”

“Continued intermittent dragging of rear disk brakes. Brakes have been replaced several times--dragging continues to this date--8/7/2014. Vehicle has been taken to Ford dealer--can't isolate 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. …”

“The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-250. The contact stated that the speedometer abnormally fluctuated. The vehicle briefly stalled due to the ABS independently applying the brakes. The ABS warning indicator illuminated, but the failure also occurred without the warning indicator. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.”
