Consumer Description

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?
