Own 2006 Ford Ranger sport 4X4. Today, 06-11-11 I lost the rear brakes for the second time. The first time was about a year ago. Truck was taken to a Ford dealer for repair. After inspecting the brakes, they asked me if I park in standing water. I told them no, in a parking lot.they said the rear brake components were frozen and coroded. I felt the rear drums today and they are ice cold. If they are working properly, the rear drums would be hot. Its a very scarey feeling when you hit the brakes and the truck does not stop. Please check to see if other truck owners have had this problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Ranger XLT. While driving between 35-40 mph down a two-lane, dry mountain road, the vehicle began to sway uncontrollably across the road when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle failed to slow down and the vehicle veered off the road and traveled 60 feet down the snow covered mountain. The vehicle then rolled over four times. The failure occurred without warning. The air bags failed to deploy. The police and ambulance were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The driver was transported to the hospital and sustained moderate injuries. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The insurance company has not determined the damages that the vehicle sustained. The failure and current mileages were 44,000.
