In Dec, of 2003 I had cause to go to Ford and complain about the brakes on my car, this was the 4th time I had complained to them. At this time they said the front brakes were worn to 0.I was into Ford just 2 months before for the same thing and nothing was said at the time, now they decided that we were going to pay for the whole thing rotors included I was shocked because I was told that the cheap brakes that Ford puts on only last for less then 12,000 miles we paid to have them replaced because Ford gave us no choice, now we are having problems with the back brakes making a loud squiling noise I am so unhappy that they choose to do nothing.
