| Description of the problem | I have a ford f-150 extended cab with approximately 3000 miles. The brakes have been squeaking for several weeks now. I took it to my dealer and was told that ford installs brakes that don't meet up right with the roters which causes the squeaking. I was informed that there was nothing my dealer could do and that i should buy a different brand of brake pads to put on the vehicle. I was told these new pads would run approx $50. 00. I called ford and was informed they wouldn't do anything to rectify the problem either. I don't think it's right that my vehicle that has 3000 miles and that i've owned for less than a year has squeaking brakes and no one wants to fix the problem.*ak |
