Consumer Description

ON 14JUN01 MY TRUCK HAD 20709 MILES ON IT. CHARAPP FORD REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND TURNED THE ROTORS IN ORDER TO PASS THE STATE INSPECTION. THIS CAN BE VERIFIED THROUGH INVOICE#20709. ON 17JUL02 MY TRUCK WAS INSPECTED AT MURRAY'S FORD IN DUBOIS, PA WITH NO PROBLEMS, MILEAGE 29978, INVOICE # C09529. ON 19SEP02 I HAD MURRAY'S CHECK A RUBBING SOUND FROM MY FRONT BRAKES. THEY FOUND THE BRAKE PAD WAS MISSING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKES RESULTING IN METAL TO METAL CONTACT. THIS REQUIRED NEW BRAKE PADS AND NEW ROTORS. MY TRUCK HAD 31378 MILES, INVOICE # C12269. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE BRAKES SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE CONSIDERING I DO NOT OVERLOAD MY TRUCK NOR DO I TOW AT ALL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKES, BRAKE PADS, OR POOR WORKMANSHIP.*AK
