Consumer Description

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: FOUNDATION COMPONENTS: DISC: ROTOR ON 2001 FORD TAURUS -- HAVE REPLACED ROTORS TWICE AND TIRES ONCE SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2003 W/ ONLY 30K MILES ON IT. NOW HAVE 49K MILES AND THE STEERING WHEEL PRACTICALLY JUMPS OUT OF MY HANDS WHILE BRAKING DUE TO THE ROTORS WHICH WERE PUT ON ONLY 2 MONTHS AGO AFTER DEALERSHIP BILLED FORD FOR SHAVING ROTORS BELOW SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE EXTREME HEAT GENERATED THEREBY CAUSING ROTORS TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERYTIME INDIVIDUAL MUST SUDDENLY STOP ! FORD SHOULD PAY FOR NEXT ROTORS AND SHOULD CONSIDER RECALLING VEHICLE DUE TO BRAKING SYSTEM WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF SOMEONE CANNOT STOP AND FORD WILL BE LIABLE IN MY PARTICULAR SITUATION. I WILL ADVERTISE THIS INFORMATION AND MAKE READILY AVAILABLE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION TO THE LEGAL FIELD AND ANY ATTORNEY WHO REQUESTS IT. *PH
