1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2017

Replaced factory front pads with auto parts pads. Then had rotors turned. Bled all four wheels because of air in one caliper. Worked well for few months then heard squealing noise. I checked brakes and both wheels had been worn out same sides of pads badly. One edge of outside of pads on both wheels totally warn out. My driver side rotor damaged and had some cracks. I took pads to auto parts salesman said common on those 150's. I looked up internet if any other owner had same problems and this is a yes. That owner new how to check and verify problem and told his dealer. Dealer fixed problem for free. Problem bad front caliper hoses, especially passenger side. I told my dealer. They said no recall. That doesn't mean no oroblems in my opinion. Please check! thank you. I will send photos when I repair my truck.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2016

Braking system failing, ever since I drove it off the lot after purchase from dealership June 2015, I told them something was wrong with braking system, they say OH no new brakes. I put brand new brakes calipers rotors and pressure hoses on my truck. Every 1800 miles or less braking system is failing, every 1800 mile or less replacing pads and rotors. My pads are wearing so quickly and eating through rotors. As soon as I put new ones on theres brake dust instantly and always. Sometimes truck is braking on its own when not accelerating when I coasting vehicle. I have tried taking it to dealer they say nothing is wrong with it. I have had it for over a year now and it still continues to happen. Something is seriously wrong with this braking system.

5 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2014

I was traveling along interstate-10 when I detected a the odor of what I thought was brake pads burning. As I pulled over to the side of the road the front end of my truck didn't respond as it normally would turning and I thought my brakes were locking up. I came to a complete stop and put my flashers on and exited my vehicle to inspect my front end. When I approached the front drivers side tire I could smell the something burning and I could feel and extreme amount of heat coming from the tire well area. I noticed the brake calipers were smoking and when I reached down and touched my wheel rim it was so hot it burnt my hand. I later jacked up the front of my truck to inspect caliper and found it completely locked up and wheel would not turn at all. I had to call for assistance and get it to a shop where I found out that there was a TSB Ford put out. I feel like my life was put in danger because I was not warned about this TSB and the brake problems Ford is experiencing. I am extremely angry that Ford has not made this problem more widely known and I find it disturbing that I have to search out, on my on, potential life threatening issues with my vehicle. Please do something about this problem.
