On 3-4-06 i was driving an m2 freightliner over the road on i-80 in pa when hit a pot hole and the truck lifted me out of the seat . When i came back down on the seat i injured my back . The injury put me in the hospital with a back strain.
I have had 4 brake failures due to stuck calipers and severe overheating and loss of brakes due to brake pedal went all the way to the floor. All 4 wheels have been affected at different times. Two were while driving on the interstate and two while driving on secondary roads. Two of the failures required towing to the repair facility. The brakes are bosch disc brakes with 66mm dual pistons, the timeline on the stuck calipers is as follows; june 20, 2012, 50,908 miles, right rear caliper stuck and lost brakes, towed to freightliner service center, may 20, 2016, 74,326 miles, left rear caliper stuck, lost brakes, july 14, 2017, 80837 miles left front caliper stuck lost brakes and was towed, sept. 8, 2017, 84,000 miles, right front caliper stuck and got very hot, i stopped and let the brake cool and made it home and then replaced caliper. The brakes have gotten so hot that the caliper, rotor and pads and abs sensors also needed to be replaced every time.as far as i am aware, bosch has not issued any recall or safety notice on why this happens or how to prevent it from happening. A scan on the internet reveals that this happens a lot with this braking system. Due to the extreme danger that this condition causes, bosch should be required to address the issue.
Rear brakes started dragging while driving along. I stopped to check them and the right rear brake was very hot and smelling of overheated brakes. I turned around to try and make it home but the next time i applied the brakes, the brake pedal went to the floor and i had to use the emergency brake to get stopped. I was towed to afreightliner service center where they told me i had a stuck caliper. This vehicle is a motorhome conversion by dynamax and has hydraulic, abs brakes.
