| Description of the problem | At 9000 miles the brake rotors warped and were replaced under warranty, but the pads were not. The rotors began warping again and were machined to remove the warping at 34000 miles but again the pads were not replaced. At 37000 the rotors warped again and now at 39000 the vehicle is unsafe to drive. Ford claims this is normal wear and tear and will not authorize repairs because the vehicle is out of warranty. Ford says the consumer must pay the cost to replace the rotors and pads. *jb |
