Ford Escape driver side front brake overheating and causing shaking after recent caliper and hose replacement on Ford Escape

Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing overheating and shaking issues with the driver side front brake after recent caliper and hose replacements. These problems may stem from improper caliper placement or misalignment, which can increase friction and lead to overheating on that side. Additionally, a sticky brake caliper, particularly when it becomes problematic in hot conditions, can indicate underlying brake system issues that require immediate attention for safety. Furthermore, missing rubber protective caps over the locking pins can allow debris to remove lubricating grease, potentially causing the hand brake to stick on the driver side. It is recommended that owners check for proper caliper alignment, inspect the brake caliper for stickiness, and ensure all protective components are in place to prevent malfunctions.
