Dealer tech said axel was out of factory tollerance was cause. Repair cost was $3,500. 00. I did not know what made the noise , i was describing the noise as possible brakes, but now ford says that is what i asked them only to look at. That is not true, i said it is making a noise , sounds like the brakes, they should have drove it rather than just looking at the brakes. They said it was fine then, now they say i should have brought it back if the noise was still there. I did not as they said it was ok. When it started grinding , i then brought it back. I was lucky it did not lock up and cause an accident.*ak
