Consumer Description

FIRST OF ALL YOUR ONE-SIZE-FITS ALL APPROACH WITH FORM-HELL SUCKS!!! NOW FOR THE FORD PROBLEM. THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP IN 10K TO 18 K MILES OF DRIVING!!! FORD'S ENGINEERING SUCKS!!! FORD WILL NOT ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO SPEAK TO THE FACTORY REP. FORD THINKS ROTORS ARE A MAINTENANCE ITEM. FORD IS WRONG!!! FORD UNDERSIZED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY DID NOT SLECT THE PROPER MATERIAL FOR THE BRAKE PAD MATERIAL AND FOR THE ROTORS!!! THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF TITAINUM TO PREVENT WARPING. MY CAR DID NOT CRASH BUY I COULD NOT TRUST THE BRAKES. I HAD TO LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR AHEAD. THE WARPED ROTORS CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JUMP AND TWIST DURING BRAKING. THIS MADE THE CAR UNSAFE. I NEVER HEARD THE WARNING SOUND THAT TELLS YOU THAT YOUR BRAKE PADS HAD GOTTEN TO END OF LIFE. THE ROTORS ALWAYS WARPED BEFORE THE BRAKE PADS WORE OUT!!! I DON'T OWN THIS CAR ANY LONGER. I TRADED IT IN ON A HONDA.*AK
