Question 2011 F250 Super Duty brake issues.

I purchased a 2011 F250 in December of last year and have had brake binding issues from the start when edging up to the wall in the garage. I have had it to the Dealer 2 times with no results. the Truck now has 1,600 miles on it. It appears that the front calipers are not releasing when I ease up on the brake.

Does any one else have the same problem and is there a fix for the issue?

I have never had a truck with this kind of issue before.

grease the slide pins for the calipers and see if that helps.

There is a known issue with calipers hanging up on some vehicles. Right now, Ford is having the dealerships replace the caliper and bracket assemblies and shipping the old ones to engineering for investigation. We just had engineers out at our dealership last week to look at one. There is no permanent fix as of today.

Do you have any info on how to get Ford to replace the faulty parts? I also have a 250 that is presenting the same issues. Only difference is mine has actually gotten up to 714 deg on the left rotor and the right at 344. I've taken the truck into the dealer with the brakes smoking and they say that they cannot find the issue and can not fix the problem. My truck has off and on pulled to the right when you apply the brakes from mile one. It now has a squeak at low speed. Stops the second you apply the brakes.
