| I was coming from port author texas, and when i was about 1 or 2 miles from my house the right front wheel locked up. the caliper that works the brake came out and locked the wheel up. i was traveling at 55mph when it locked up, and i did not apply my brake for it to happen. i realize my truck is a 1994 model, however, the issue i'am trying to stress is this; i only have 15,000 miles, and drive it very little. my vehicle does not have the wear and tear for this to have happened! i feel it is a factory defect, and i should not be responsible for the repair. i am requesting an investigation into this matter before someone gets killed, and a remibursment for the repair cost i have already made. point to mention: if it was not a defect, then why did the ford motor company change the front left calipers. *ak | |||

| The truck is a 1994 ranger. it presently has 37000 miles on it . both front rotorsdeveloped cracks . a thumping occurred when applying the brakes . i had a mechanic look at it . he showed me the cracks in the rotors . i had it fixed . the rotorss cost me 118. dollars . this failure seems premature to me . i don't drive many miles during the year so it didn,t show up during the warranty period. i only drive about 7000 miles a year . do i have a recourse or do i just pay it and shut up ? thank you lloyd. *ak | |||

| Brake master cylinder failed prematurely because manufacturer does not remove the seam burr on plastic fluid reservoir, where it attaches to the master cylinder body. i replaced the master cylinder for the first time in july of 1998. last january i discovered the master cylinder leaking again, after i experienced a brake light coming on during turns. experience led me to believe that my brake fluid was low, it was. this evening, i replaced the master cylinder again. upon priming to cylinder, my friend discovered brake fluid seeping through the cylinder body and the reservoir. both master cylinders, brand new, from napa auto parts store in boise, id failed prematurely. *ak | |||
