I have replaced brakes and rotors twice since owning and need to do it again.the brakes I had put on 6 months ago are now chipping. The brake system on this thunderbisd feels inadequate.seeing the amount of complaints about the brake system on the 95 Thunderbird.why isn't something being done about it?
