This is my first "American" made car and definitely my last. FORD SUCKS! I received this car as a "gift" from my parents and thought I wouldn't have any problems with a new car bought right off the lot. The brakes haven't stopped squeaking since we bought it. I asked the dealer several times to look at it and I was always told it was normal for FORD brakes to squeak, its just how they were made. WHAT? I've never owned a car where brakes were made to squeak. I decided to take the car to a repair shop and he fixed the brakes ($200.00) and they stopped squeaking for 8 months. Then when I couldn't stand the squeaking any more I took the car to another brake shop. That when my entire brake world fell apart. It turned out that not only were by front brakes bad, but the back brakes and every little piece that makes them work was bad or leaking. I was told that had FORD looked at the situation earlier that some of the pieces would have been replaced at no cost since they looked bad to start with. That little brake job cost me $840.00!!! I love to know that FORD takes such care and time putting their vehicles together. Don't you feel safe driving your FORD. Bet you'll ask yourself that questions the next time you step on your brakes at at red light & pray you're car stops. I wonder how many FORD sales people actually drive FORD cars and never have any problems???
