Brake Foundation Components Problems of Mercury Villager

Consumer applied brakes to come to a stop at intersection, pedal felt hard, and vehicle went through intersection. Dealer stated both rear calipers were frozen, and one front rotor was rusted. All parts were replaced. On July 26, 2002 consumer applied brakes at 10 mph, pedal felt hard, no braking action. Vehicle at dealer at this time. The booster was replaced, however it is uncertain as to if this will remedy the problem.

The "tabs" that hold the rear brake shoes on the wheel cyclinder sheared off. The brake shoes were just floating inside the drum. Stopping ability severely deteriorated. I had to make emergency repairs at meineke shop. Ford and dealership refuses to inspect parts to see if they are defective, unless I take initiative to persuade dealer to look at them, and they persuade Ford rep to investigate. This cannot be normal wear and tear. A responsible company should determine if there are defective brake components in their manufacturing process. They should be required to pursue and investigate, not the customer who has already paid for repair.

While making a sudden stop consumer would have to apply force to the brake pedal. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further informaion.
