Hey guys im having an issue with my 15 fiesta st that I can't figure out... And either can ford.
So my car needed to have the brake pads changed so I did rotors and pads(stop tech). After bleeding the brakes and going for a quick test drive i noticed the brake pressure wasnt releasing. Which causes all wheels to lock after a short period.
So i took it all apart and made sure everything was in correctly and it was. I can reset the calipers and spin the wheels freely, however if you hit the brake pedal a few times with the car on or off it will lock the wheels. I have no idea whats going on with it and need help. You can release the pressure by opening the line anywhere from the caliper all the way to the master cylinder.
What ive done so far:
1. Replaced rotors and pads.
2. Bled brakes multiple times.
3. Replaces brake lines with stainless.
4. Rebuilt 1 caliper
5. Replaced slide pins
6. Replaced the master cylinder.
After all this and having very little time to work on the car. I had it towed to a local ford dealer.
What they have done:
1.replaced the master cylinder.
2. Abs bleed.
3. Manual bleed.
Still no resolution. And the dealer says they are not sure what the issue is but want to replace the lines, pads, rotors, calipers with factory ford. Also they are not sure if this will fix the issue.
Im at a loss and will not pay thousands for something that wont fix my car. I really hope someone here had a similar issue and can help me out. I no longer have confidence in the dealer trying to rip me off and do trial and error at my expense.
Any help would be appreciated!
