Consumer Description

THE ROTORS ON MY ESCAPE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 45,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE BRAKES HAD WORN DOWN (NO SQUEALER WARNING). UPON INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE ROTORS HAD BEEN WORN DOWN AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW BRAKE PADS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS SURPRISED AT THE ROTORS BEING IN SUCH BAD SHAPE ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS NOT DUE TO GRINDING (THE BRAKE PADS WEREN'T COMPLETELY WORN OUT). HE WAS SHOCKED AT SUCH INFERIOR PARTS BEING ON THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT THE ORIGINAL ROTORS THAT CAME ON THE CAR FROM FORD SHOULD ANYONE WANT PICTURES OR WANT TO INSPECT THEM. *AK
