| Description of the problem | Pulsating brakes at 12k miles - dealer chose to turn the rotors per ford. Pulsating brakes again at 20k - identified by dealer to turn rotors again - "they are within ford specs requiring turning vs. Replacing". Contacted ford - (of course, those that answer the phone are not technical - so they could not explain the specs or provide them) explained that this is a recurring problem - should replace. Ford had identified that these rotors are within spec - will not replace will only turn. Limited warranty provides for repair if available - not replace. 2 turns in 20k on a vehicle that is 3 years old. Not acceptable. $38k vehicle and $400 warranty repair for new rotors is too much for ford to swallow. Nice warranty - question is, will the rotors outlast the warranty?? |
