I just had the whole front end of the Lincoln replaced brake system tie rods, bearings. It was done at the Lincolon dealership in Lexington Park Maryland. I was driving the car and it pulled to the left so bad I almost got in a wreck. I went back to the dealer and they said both of my calipers were stuck. What could have caused this. Everything was suppose to be brand new and they did a wheel alignment and changed all the fluids. It cost 2000.00 for all the work they did. How could that happen.

i would suspect dealer error. possible put together with the caliper twisted causing brake hose to kink and now they are covering their behind. i would make a stink. if calipers were stuck they would have known when they were compressing them and definitely should have not let it happen to you when driving. thats my opinion
