2 months ago we had to stop immediately to go into a shop because our car was making a horrible loud noise and we could barely move the car. The brakes had locked into the pistons and the pistons were cracked and everything involving the brakes needed to be replaced including the calibers. Yesterday 5/30/19 we took it in and yet again the brakes are locked and everything needs to be replaced including the calibers.…

Brakes failed and ended up going through cross traffic at an intersection. After $4990 and a full month at the local ford dealer, it was found the hcu had a leaking seal and would intermittently disable the brakes!

Service Brakes
Brake hose connector for front brakes is not allowing fluid to flow back to master cylinder. This causes brakes to remain applied and heating up. Temperatures predicted by ford dealer (shane at bob allen ford, overland park, ks) predicted to be as high as 1200 degrees fahrenheit. Potential for fire is high and brakes, rotors and calipers are ruined. Was noticed immediately by driver of vehicle. Not a delayed issue.

When slowing down, the rear brakes make a rubbing sound like having a flat spot on the drums. Its been to the ford dealer 3 times for the same sound. They say its normal. 1 year before when i bought the car, it never sounded that way. Even while parked and stepping on the brake pedal, it still sounds like springs are going to snap. I don't think this is normal. *tr
