Brakes problem

Ford F-150 2005
Four months ago I bought a van FX4 with 14000km and, even though it is an all-terrain vehicle, the brakes do not work that properly. Not a heavy rain is needed for the brake discs to suffer a considerable deformation. Even more, the vibrations when braking are too evident. If anybody has had a similar problem please let me know.

You should disconnect the ABS connector, located on the driver's side next to the shock absorber's base. The ABS indicator will be on in the dashboard, and you should then try how brakes are working.

Change the brake discs and pads for some good quality ones, which you can buy directly from a brakes distributor center.

Rear brakes

Ford F-150 1997 Manual/ 4 litre  318000 miles
Rear brakes are locking up after parking even when I do not use the parking brake. Truck is hard to move forward and will not Coast. I'm afraid I will burn out my clutch

Solved my own problem, I pulled the brake wires by hand and they released ! This happened on one of my other Fords, seems the parking brakes don't always release.
