Extremely poor design by Ford on the rear brakes for the new model F150 (2004). Parking brake would not release fully and caused premature excessive wear to left rear brakes. There were also premature leaking seals in the left rear brake area.
After many years of buying Ford trucks, I am very disappointed with this very poor design of the rear brakes. The older design was safer and more dependable. This problem should have been covered by a recall. Why would Ford sell a new vehicle with a major problem like this?
Because of this major problem with a F150 that I bought new and babied, I may never buy another Ford again.
