“I experienced a complete brake line failure and loss of brake use on my 2000 Ford f350 super duty 4x4 pickup. Luckily, the failure occurred while my vehicle was being inspected by the state of new jersey. I had to have it towed to the nearest Ford dealership where they proceeded to bill me extensively for replacing the main brake line.”
NHTSA complaint #10137021, filed 2005-09, 67,200 miles“Front brakes, fade and extended stopping distance; there are float pins which keep the calipers centered over the rotors . They have seized up. The vehicle breaking was becoming sluggish. Repeated inspection of the front brake pads indicated their condition to be good. Eventually I decided to order new calipers with pads. These units came with 'new float pins'. Much to my surprise my calipers were good but they were locked in position because of the seized float pins. When the brakes were applied the pressure was to the inside pad only greatly lengthening the stopping distance. …”
