problem #1

Nov 172002

Mountaineer 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 37,500 miles
While driving at 25 mph the brakes were applied but they didn't hold. The dealership indicated that this was caused by the brake calipers freezing up and getting hot which resulted in the seals failing. Rotors, pads and shoes were replaced.
