2015 Big White Beast 2.0 caliper locking up
So, my 2015 F-250 is at the dealership because the passenger front caliper is dragging. I first had an issue at around 4k miles when the brake wouldn't release when I took my foot off the brake pedal. I had to spool up some RPMs before it would release. I took it into the dealership and they inspected the truck and couldn't find anything out of spec or get it to replicate the problem.
I'm now at a little over 11k miles and it's happened twice since then. Each time it was when I had been driving the truck for a while, after having driven a few hundred miles. I would take it into the dealership as soon as I got home, but they couldn't figure out what was happening . They told me to bring it in as soon as it happened so they could check it out. I explained to them that each time it had happened we were a distance from home and had brought it in as soon as they were open.
On Saturday, I hit the brake and it dove to the right hard. It happened while the dealership was open and I was close to home, I immediately called them to let them know I was on my way. I had the service writer go with me and scared the crap out of him when I nailed the brake and it pulled hard to the right.
They called me to let me know that they were replacing the caliper, rotor and pads on the front. Anyone else having any brake related issues????

I got it back today and all seems good, let's hope anyway.

OK, I thought that the truck was fixed, but seems that isn't the case. Drove her for about 50-60 miles today and she is dragging to the right again when I use the brake at speed.
God help us if I have to panic brake in traffic and side swipe the car in the next lane over from me. I've sent a text to my salesman that I'm having the exact same problem, AGAIN, and I need this fixed.
If they can't come to a firm solution, I'm almost tempted to tell them that I want a new truck and for them to deal with the problem until they can figure it out and sell it down the line.
I understand that trucks have problems, but this borders on a life-safety issue and I'm just about over having my hind end slam shut when I apply the brakes in my $65k truck.
