Three problems related to brake disc caliper have been reported for the 2000 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2000 Ford F-250 sd. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the brakes unintentionally locked without warning. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road, and remained parked overnight. The following day, the contact started the vehicle and resumed driving with the brakes functioning normally for 15 miles before the failure recurred. One week prior to the failure, all of the rotors and both rear calipers were replaced. In addition to the repair, the front and rear brakes were replaced. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired for the most recent failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls related to the brakes. The approximate failure mileage was 178,000.
I bought the truck used with 138,000 miles on it. I have put about 122,000 miles on it so it has about 250,000 miles on it now. I have had numerous front brake issues with this truck. I have had 8 brake repairs on the truck since I bought it. The truck violently shakes while braking. I have taken it to multiple brake shops and had Ford original parts put back on it. Everytime they change the rotors and brake pads and every other time the calipers. It is just a matter of time before I have an accident. I recently had a repair done and I have only went 2,100 miles and it is violently shaking again. I usually get around 18,000 miles between brake repairs. I have researched the issue and have found hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue with this truck.
Stopped for fuel. Smelled something hot. Right rear brake caliper piston stuck in caliper and would not release, wheel became excessively hot, was hot enough to cause a burn on finger. Drove to nearby repair center for repair. During repair it was also discovered that left front caliper was also sticking.
