at 21k miles the front rotors on this truck were at minimal thickness.The brake pads ate into the soft poor quality rotors.Ford dealer in riverside ca wanted $.750. to fix.Save myself about $450.by doing myself with parts from autozone while upgrading to ceramic pads.This is the least of my complaints with this poor quality truck.

22,000 miles brakes start squealling.Go to Brake Masters they tell me $1500.00 to fix this will include 2 new front rotors and 2 new sets of brake pads. I tell them to go pound sand.Call Ford they tell me not covered under warranty.I then tell them to go pound sand.Its no wonder American car companies are going under and having to accept goverment money and take overs.Well that is except Ford they took no money from the goverment because thier customers pay for thier salries and profits by putting out defective components like sub par brake rotors,defective window regulators and so on and so on.Thank you Ford for setting me straight.I will try to tell as many friends and complete strangers of the experience I have had.so as to try and warn other consumers of the hazards you get when you buy Ford tough.Oh yea I forgot to mention that I will be calling the Az state attorney general to see what my next step should be.
