Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 F150, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE STARTED LOCKING UP AND SMELLING REALLY BAD. I STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THE RIM TO BE VERY HOT. I DROVE IT A FEW MORE MILES TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO LOAN ME A CAR FOR FREE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I ASKED WHAT PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE STARTED HAVING WITH F150 BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKING UP WHILE CUSTOMERS ARE DRIVING. IT BOTHERS ME THAT I HAD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM THIS WAY. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE TELLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM RIGHT NOW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BAD FROM THIS DEFECT. *JB
