Yup, no joke. Here on Long Island, which hit below 0 (with wind chill), my calipers froze onto my rotors. I've never in my life experienced this on any car whatsoever. At first, I thought my clutch died (since I was getting ZERO power) but that wasn't the case (thankfully). I than noticed a ticking kinda sound, like something was cracking (couldn't find out what it was either). Anyone else experience this?

my first car, a geo storm had something happen with the breaks, no noise but first thing on a winter morning it wouldnt stop. And the first stop at the end of my street is a main highway. Let me tell u how fun it is to find your breaks dont work. But after a few pumps all was well. the mechanic never did find out exactly what it was.

how did you caliper freeze onto the rotors?? You mean the pads where stuck to the rotors?

Are you sure the parking brake was not frozen like the 1000 other people that had this problem?

I would think its the park brake was stuck on. happens even in warm weather more apparent in cold weather stupid set up for a park brake ford should have put a drum style park brake in much more reliable IMO Was there a loud thud when it let go if so def park brake
