1 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 2004 Ford E-150

Failure Date: 04/30/2007

Bolts falling off of brakes that hold caliper on. I have a total of 12 2004 Ford E-150 and 1 2004 Ford expedition. 3 of my e-250's and the expedition has all had this happen to them. What happens is that it sounds like the brake pads are worn down to metal on metal, when brakes were checked for the problem, the bolt had come loose and was causing the caliper to rub against the rim.

4 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 1997 Ford E-150

This is to report a continual problem I have had with this van. It is not uncommon. I have talked to over 30 Ford van owners with similar complaints. Front brakes develop an incurable "shimmy" and premature wear causing minor drivability problems and also excessive rear brake wear. In my case, rear brakes were prematurely worn to the point that abs engaged and created further "pulsing". This has been explained as Ford problem with calipers to Ford problem with abs on late model vans. Ford refuses to acknowledge possibility of a problem. Five brake repairs in 30,000 miles would indicate the possibility exists and is also dangerous. Have you had any complaints similar to this one?.
