| Air Brake problems |
I purchased a new 2008 Ford Edge in January of 2009. I began experiencing braking problems early in 2011. This car has about 15000 miles on it when I took ijt back to the dealer. When I described the problem to the maintenace manager and the mechanic, both stated that it was problem due to rust on the rotors. The mechanic removed the wheels and showed me the rotors that were completely rusted. He then removed the rotors and showed me one that had a piece about the size of a dime that had physically rusted away from the rotor. I asked how that had happened as I keep my car in the garage and had very little mileage on it. He stated that the car had probably sat in the lot for 6 months prior to my purchase. I complained to the managers at the dealer and also wrote a letter to Ford about this subject. Although all of these persons admit it is due to rust, they would not take resoponsibility for the damage. Since automobiles were being sold at a slow pace when I purchased the car, this problem must exist on others. Maybe you should look into the problem.
