Consumer Description

BRAKES CONTINUALLY EMIT HIGH-FREQUENCY SQUEAL. RETURNED TO DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS. ONLY RESOLUTION PROVIDED WAS TO LUBE CALIPER PADS; THIS DID NOT ELIMINATE PROBLEM. CONTACTING FORD MOTOR CO. TO NO SATISFACTION. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE SOUND OCCURS DUE TO HARDNESS OF BRAKE PADS. IF SOFTER PADS WERE USED, WEAR LIFE WOULD BE DECREASED. REVIEW OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND FOUND APPROXIMATELY 15 OTHERS OF A SIMILAR NATURE. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS COULD BE POTENTIAL HAZARD (BEISDES GOING DEAF FROM DECIBLE LEVEL). WHY FORD WON'T REPAIR THIS PROBLEM? CAR IS SATISFACTORY OTHERWISE, EXCEPT I FEEL IT SHOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE FOR A 4 CYLINDER VEHICLE.
