2 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 2003 Ford E-350

Failure Date: 04/21/2003

The vehicle jerked violently to the left when the brakes were applied at any speed. Vehicle was taken to 3 different Ford dealers 16 times. They did not know how to fix this problem. No explanation was given as to why this happened. Contacted Ford, and Ford offered no explanation. There has been numerous repairs performed on the vehicle, including the abs controller, rotors, calipers, brake pads, wheel bearings, wheels, and the tires. All of these things have not corrected the problem.

3 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 1998 Ford E-350

Always pulls to the left when braking. Left front locks up and skids whin braking for a sotp on wet pavement or on unpaved surfaces. Same occurs when loose material is on paved surface. Brake components (shoes, calipers, etc ) have been replaced by the dealer at considerable expense with no improvement. There was a blue ring on the left front rotor when work was done. When the left front skids there is no braking. Fortunately it only happens under certain conditions (at low speeds) resulting in only 20-30 occurrences in 94,00 miles. The pull is compensated for on dry conditions by increased steering effort and by the steering stabilizer. The dealer (gilmore Ford) has been able to verify the condition but unable to correct. I have been unable to contact a foctory tech. Representative. I understand that there are others with this same problem but not many drive as much as I and may consider the individual occurrence unique. It is also possible that low speed accidents have occurred and just been considered "over driving". I had to recently cancel use of this vehicle on a trip because mech of the travel was in the mountains on unpaved roads and would have been unsafe!.
