Description of the problem	I returned from a cross country trip and heard a grinding noise coming from the rear of my 2005 ford freestar. To investigate i removed the wheels and found the passenger rear rotor and disc pad were metal to metal. I checked the other wheels, they showed no signs of damage, pads still had a lot of material remaining. I took the vehicle to craig ford, in craig, colorado for repairs. At first i was told that it was a defective brake caliper and that warranty would cover the caliper, rotor and pads. However i was told later that the caliper was not defective and that i would be responsible for the total repair costs. Note, i had less than 30,000 miles on the vehicle at the time of the brake failure. I had to pay for the new rotor for the passenger rear, rear pads and turning the driver rear rotor which i was told is a normal procedure for e rear break job; i was not charged for a caliper so i presume craig ford reused the caliper. Since work was being done on the rear, and i was having to pay for the repairs, i instructed craig ford to do a complete brake job replacing pads and turning rotors on the front as well so that i would be starting again with 100% new brakes on all 4 wheels. When i picked the vehicle up, i was advised by the service manager, rob sovine, that he checked and there appeared to be a number of incidents of 2005 ford freestar passenger rear brakes wearing prematurely, with no know reason for this problem; and that there was no recall or service bulletin regarding this problem. I had no choice but to pay for the repairs as the vehicle was inoperable, but since i was not the only owner experiencing this problem, according to mr. Sovine, i felt and still do feel that ford should do something about this problem. *nm
