This car has been trouble since I bought it. For the rotors to be shot after only 26,000 miles means the rotors must have been made from an inferior metal. But if you have a problem with your Ford don't expect help from their customer service dept. They Suck! No wonder they must close plants and layoff 36,000 workers!
