Brake Disc Rotor problems of the 2000 Mercury Sable

Consumer heard a noise coming from the left rear wheel. The consumer contacted the manufacturer, and they only identified the front coil spring as being a possible problem which was currentlybeing recalled. The vehicle had 38,000 miles when the defect occurred. The rotors and wheel bearing were replaced.

Brakes shudder when applied, been cut down once already stopped for about 5000 miles then started again increasing in intensity as mileage climbed, also car will shut off for a moment or two causing loss of all power, and all dash indicator lights to come on, also had to replace brake light switch twice now.

Severe front shudder during braking. This became apparent about 45000 miles and continued to increase over time. Owner preformed own investigation and discovered front rotors badly warped. Owner preformed own maintainence by installing aftermarket new rotors and pads. Owner wishes to indicate that original rotors removed from car appear to have what looks like fracture cracks across surface of ea rotor and unusual patterns and discolors not seen on other cars before. These parts have been kept at owners home for future investigation if requested. Car is now back in service with brakes operating correctly after repairs were completed.

When braking, there is vibration, rotors have been turned once. At this time there is vibration again. . Consumer was informed that new tires were needed, however the vibration remained.

When applying brakes at highway speed, (55+) the brakes shudder and vibrate the steering wheel. Took car to stuart powell, Ford-Mercury, danville, ky. And was told the rotors were surfaced and the brakes were repaired. About 1 1/2 months later the same problem started again in addition to when the brake pedal is pushed it seems hard and doesn't stop unless a lot of pressure is applied. Also when putting enough pressure on the pedal to stop, the pedal goes almost to the floor . Took the car back to stuart powell Ford-Mercury and they kept it for one full day, test drove it for 1. 2 miles and told me they could not find anything wrong. I believe the brakes on this car need to be repaired before I have a serious accident.

Rotors continue to be defective. Consumer has had rotors surfaced a few times, but they still are going bad. Contacted dealer, and dealer is not willing to do anything.

While driving there is pulsation upon pressing the brakes. Consumer statesthat rotors had been changed several times. But, problem still exists.
