Since I purchased this vehicle new the front end and brakes has constantly given me problems.vehicle pulls to the left when braking or if you let the wheel loose. Constant brake problems, master cylinder failure's, rotor failures, excessive brake pad failures, caliper failures, abnormal tire wear. Vehicle shakes at 65-70mph tires have been replaced 3 times in 57000 miles and balanced, this vehicle will not stop shaking. Dealer says they do not know what I'm talking about and they can not reproduce this shake. Dealer has replaced many brake parts since this vehicle was new. I just had another brake job completed at debartolo's service, Inc 860/739-6073 and they are telling me that the front end can not be aligned and that they can not find the reason why the brakes constantly pull the vehicle to the left. Mr. Debartolo said it is possible the vehicles frame may be bent. This vehicle has never been in an accident and Mr. Debartolo said this problem has to be a factory problem since this vehicle was new. I stopped going to plaza Ford since they could not fix this vehicle correctly. No one has ever worked on this vehicle except for the dealer until recently. This vehicle is used for my business and being without it costs me alot of money and time. Now I'm very concerned for my employee's safety and others on the road.
