My brakes were locked when trying to pull out of my driveway. The pedal was very hard; couldn't push down. I couldn't move the car in 1st, 2nd, reverse, or drive. The emergency brake was not on, but still tried releasing it and nothing changed. After trying to move the truck, I checked the rear brakes and it looked like the pad was stuck on the rotor. I tried to release the caliper but it was too hot to touch. Finally said screw it and locked it up for the night. Next morning it was like nothing had ever happened. Kind of crazy, but scary to think if that happened again if I was driving down the road.

I am a ASE Certified auto technician for Toyota. So yeah I work on my own vehicles, I'd be stupid if i didn't. I did my first brake job on my truck, I take the first caliper off on the driver side, the inside brake pad is melted to the piston. I am thinking WTF?! so yeah I separated the brake pad from the piston, what do I find out, the brake caliper piston is cracked, crumbling, falling apart!!!!!! This truck is not even a year old at the time. I know this material because, ford used to use it in their box trucks in the 90's which they did away with because of how unsafe it is to use. Its called Felnic material, its a combination of sawdust, epoxy, and plastics!!!!!! alll compressed together to mold car parts. Daimler Chrysler seems to think that making the object that stops your 6000lb truck isn't that important,and saving them money is more important then lives. Let me be the first to warn you all if you don't know yet, your pistons can be crumbling as you drive and you don't even know it, and you'll find out one day by pushing your brake pedal and nothing happens. I had written letter, emails, made phone calls, i went to 4 different dealerships on long island , and no one would honor the warranty , NO ONE. I WILL NEVER IN MY LIFE EVER OWN A P.O.S. AMERICAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN IVE HAD IT WITH OUR COUNTRY ITS SH*T. F*CK YOU DAIMLER CHRYSLER F*CK YOU!
