I had this problem early this winter. Dealer replaces both cables under the aforementioned TSB, but was stingy, in my case, about replacing your now-probably-overheated brake pads and rotors. Good luck

This is getting to be a very common problem. I wonder if Ford has changed the brake cables in any way to keep it from happening again-I hope so. If not, the second time it happens, the cars will be out of warranty. Anybody know if there has been a design change?

The new one is a much more sturdy looking piece. The problem I noticed with the old cable was the rubber boot where it attaches to the rear caliper was completely dry rotted, and would let water get in and freeze. They also turned the passenger rotor and replaced the brake pads.

There is a TSB on this, had mine replaced last week and no problems since. It is the seal at the rear of the cable, lets water get in.

The guy I carpool with had to take his 05' into the dealer to get the cable replaced. My 06' didn't have the problem.

I just replaced the cables on a 06 v6 the other day, so far I have done three of them. We had to do rear brakes on this one. The girl drove with the e brake on untill she smoked the rear brakes.
