Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2012 Ford F-250

Brakes are spongy have blown through stop light twice without time to pump brakes. Dealer replaced front calipers resurfaced rotors and replaced pads at my expense no improvement. Pedal travels 1/2 to 3/4 to floor on initial braking without significantly slowing vehicle, better each time you pump brakes. While towing trailer gain has to be on full so trailer brakes can help stop vehicle, vehicle brakes are insufficient. Took truck back to Ford of kirkland after spending $1000 and was told braking is normal, drove a friends 2011 f250 and brakes are much better. The lack of response on the pedal has created more than 1 near accident and should be addressed by Ford fully as a safety issue. The lack of brake pedal response is consistent regardless of type of driving or speed and has been on going since about 36,000 miles. Truck currently has 48,000 miles.

Loud squeal from wheels when starting from parked location. Subsequent investigation by technicians at Ford dealership service showed that brake calipers were sticking. This problem is same as found on same model in 2011.

Ford dealer reviewed squealing and determined the brake calipers were sticking. This problem is noted in a tech service bulletin from Ford for model year 2011. Dealer indicated this problem has been noticed on other f250 model year 2012 but no TSB from Ford. Dealer replaced calipers on all wheels.

We came to a red light and the brakes failed to stop we had to put the truck to a sudden stop by using the trailer switch. We called the dealer but they said they couldn't help so we had to make the repairs on a back road we could not find any company willing to tow truck and trailer so we got a ride to a parts store and got the parts oem brake pads and calipers, problem is the truck is showing signs of same issue with 130 miles on repair.
