Two problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1996 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The brake caliper leaked and lost brake fluid. I refilled and never lost braking. Had caliper replaced. This was not discovered during routine replacement of rear brake pads.
The front rotors on this car have been turned twice (8/98 & 6/9/99) and need to be turned or replaced again (9/2000). The rear rotors were turned on 2/28/2000. I feel that having rotors turned once a year is unacceptable and have never had to have brake work done that often on any other vehicle that I have owned. I am concerned that this is indicative of a safety issue regarding the brakes. Dealership personnel have been less than helpful regarding my concerns.
