4 Brake Disc problem of the 2001 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 04/01/2001

Ford dealer has attempted 3 times to repair brakes going on the 4th when they get the new brake pads in,they told us about a month from now. The vehicle shakes when slowing from 55 to 40 mph. And can get scary at times. It also vibrates at 65 mph. We contacted Ford customer service about our problem and they told us that don mcclain said that they have already fixed the brakes,which is a lie. They are giving us the runaround to avoid our states lemon law. As far as we can tell no other Ford Escapes have this problem. Thank you.
