Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Ford Freestar

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Freestar. The dealer took the vehicle to be inspected and passed. The very next day, while driving 20 mph, the vehicle failed at 73,941 miles. The contact took the vehicle to a tire and auto garage for inspection, in which the vehicle did not pass due to the failure with the rotors. The technician stated that the stamp that is on the rotors indicated that it was shaved below the minimum tolerance, and is now a safety issue. The dealer attempted to repair the rotors, but shaved them too low without replacing them with new rotors. The dealer will not repair the failure. The failure mileage was 73,941.

Failure of rear brake rotors.

: the contact stated upon purchase, it was noticed the rotors were scratched; the rotors and pads were replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealership 3,000 miles later for an oil change, where it was then determined the rotors needed to be turned. The brakes shook while stopping and when the vehicle was taken in for an oil change, the rotors were replaced. The vehicle continued to shake while stopping.

At approximately 28,000 miles we heard a terrible squealing noise coming from the rear of our 2005 Ford Freestar minivan and after visual inspection the brake pad on the driver's rear was worn to nothing. Immediately took the van to the dealer where they informed us that it was normal wear and would not be covered by our warranty. Upon further inspection by our personal mechanic we were informed the caliper was sticking and cut into the rotor. He put a set of brake pads on so we could drive it back to the dealer where we bought the vehicle, sunset Ford, in gravois. We were told since we did not use motocraft the repairs would not be covered. Now at 50,000 miles the problem still exists and the van needs another set of brakes and rotors.

Dt: about 2 weeks ago the brakes failed. When pressure was applied to the brake pedal it simply went all the way to the floor. It did slow down but as driver progressed the brake shoe hung to the rotor and made a clicking sound as though they were still applied. Afterwards consumer contacted dealership and took vehicle in. The technician stated it was a rotor problem. The dealer grinded rust or " lot rot" off the rotors and placed them back on the vehicle. Two days ago however the same incident occurred again with the brake pads sticking to the rotor and the clicking noise. The vehicle is back at the dealer who says they can not find anything wrong with it. The consumer has not contacted manufacturer.
