Ok i was just wondering if anyone else's ebrake started to stick. I went to take my car to school today and noticed my ebrake was sticking so i found a ride.

what do you mean sticking. like it wont go down or it feels like its still engaged when you put the handle down?

 

[06GreenMachine]

It is still engaged when i put it down.

I'm assuming it was under 40 degrees where you are last night. Our Ebrakes stick when the weather drops below 40. I'd find some place to park where you won't have to use it. Had this happen to me once last year and it made for a shitty morning

 

[06GreenMachine]

yeah it was. Damn man thanks for telling me that.

 

[Ace417]

ive never had that problem. :dunno

NP. I had to do some research on it. It has something to do w/ the lines ford uses. Even if you take it to a dealer and make them change em, it'll still eventually happen again

ive never had that problem. :dunno

Oh you will. I got the car in Feb. of last year and I didn't have a problem with it until the begining of this year

 

[Ace417]

eh maybe

Take it to the dealer. I've had this fixed. It's a technical service bulletin.

It's a TSB on almost every damn car, too .. :lol

 

[TheUNZippee!]

lol pretty much

 

[vastang757]

When did they make it one? When I was checking at the begining on the year I never saw it. And every post I could dig up using google said that this problem will just happen again if you do have them "fix" it




Oh, and I'm not doubting you Zip, just curious

Thanks Zip. I guess mine had been taken care of before I got it. I don't have that as an outstanding TSB on my MyFord page. Too bad it still sticks though

 

[TheUNZippee!]

Lube it. Use it.


Two biggest keys to keep it from sticking.

 

[vastang757]

If I wanted to know how you get your fist out of GTsetGO's ass I would have asked. Now how do I keep the brake from sticking?!

 

[2006GTARPD3]

Ive had my car since 06 and never had this issue....

Just park in reverse or first, and you be fine. Unless you're parking on a sharp grade.

it's a TSB but the dealer still wanted $$ to change it over, basically the rubber boots that cover the lines breakdown fairly easy causing condensation or water to get in there and when temps drop, they freeze and cause your brakes to stick until they heat up enough to not stick.
