Consumer Description

DT: AT 400 MILES THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ON MAY 18, 2005. CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO CLAIMED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED FROM HEAT. THEY GOT PERMISSION FROM FORD TO PUT ON DIFFERENT ROTORS. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY CHECKED AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. LEFT THE DEALER AGAIN , WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN MASTER CYLINDER, THE FLUID WAS IN THE RIMS OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON THE GROUND. THIS WORE OUT THE TIRES AND THE BRAKES STILL WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. FORD WAS SUPPOSE TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO MEET WITH THE CONSUMER , AND HAD NOT DONE SO. CURRENTLY, THE CONSUMER WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER , AND THEY JUST SWAPPED THE TIRES FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. THEN , THEY CHANGED/ TURN ED THE ROTORS. THE CONSUMER SPOKE WITH MANUFACTURER , WHO BLAMED THE DEALER, BUT THE DEALER BLAMED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK
