12/4/2012 - Robert King
I own a 1988 Ford F-250 2WD Regular Cab Truck and while driving down the road which was a progressive hill, I smelled something burning. When I tried to brake to pull off to the side of the road the brake pedal went all the way to the floor until the emergency brake engaged on its own. When I inspected the right-side brake area I saw smoke pouring out out from behind the caliper and pad area (which is covered by a thin metal disk with vent holes in it). I had to drive the truck about two miles back to my house and the pedal continued to touch the floor. After allowing the brakes to cool down, I drove it around the block and they began to work properly again. I am not sure what action(s) to take, or if this would be covered under the recall repair orders that were issued. If anyone has any information please let me know.

Do you drive a 1988 FORD F-250?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
