Is there a solution to the parking brake issue with the 2004-2008 f150s, where when engaged, they do not release, and sometimes lock up going down the road? i know there is a tsb on this issue, so ford knows about it

I just looked up the tsb for you. Heres what it says to fix the problem:

• Replace both RH and LH parking brake actuator levers and replace parking brake cable on affect side(s)
• Correctly position parking brake cable equalizer to ensure the LH and RH parking brake cables do not twist or bind during operation
• Inspect the double cable clamp for debris and/or damage. Replace as required
• Use a shop towel to clean the sheathing on both parking brake cables where the double cable clamp will be positioned

Please - This is most likely a recall issue - take your vin number to the dealer asap and have them check for a safety recalls.
Dealers must fix these free.


For temporary relief I would disengage the emergency brake and use GOOD set of chocks
