Violent shaking of stearing wheel when breaking due to warping of break roters. Roters were replaced at 5000, 11,000, 20,000 miles and recently turnrd at 31,00 miles. The rate of failure of the roters is unacceptable and a hazzard.
Front brakes and rotor with premature wear.
The firestone firehawk tires, has had terrible road noise for the past 6,000 miles. Even though I had the tires rotated every 6,000 miles. Last night after the dealership put a new set of tires on from a new car, to prove to me that it was the tires. I am not happy! also, the informed me that I would need new brakes. . . Okay, that is possible. However, they also told me that I would need new rotors. Nothing that they could be turned. . . Just that I need new ones. When I still have brake pads. How can that be? are they made of soft metal that they don't last? that Ford counts that as a wearing problem, so the cost is on me?.
