| Monday, january 3, 2011, we were driving on a rural road in route to sharps chapel, tennessee when the right side front passenger caliper/rotor assembly failed causing smoking and burning smell of the brake shoes forcing me to pull to the side of the road. after allowing the brakes to cool, i contacted and drove to morristown ford in tennessee and they to attempted to repair the brakes by disassembling and cleaning the caliper/rotor since they did not have the parts available to appropriately rectify the situation. this repair was not effective and the problem has repeated itself 3 times since then, most recently on october 5, 2012. this appears to be a very dangerous vehicle design and/or part failure!! ford needs to rectify this problem!! *tr | |||
