Description of the problem	I took my car in for a routine oil change and tire rotation. (which i do every 5k, this was at about 40k). Rear driver brake pads were down to 10%, all others were fine. When replacing pads, the mechanic found brake fluid had leaked into the caliper, causing it to fail. The caliper failure caused overheating and dragging of the ceramic brake pad on the rotor, cutting a huge groove into rotor, which negated any chance of machining. The calipers, rotors and brake pads all required replacement with less than 40k miles on the car... Big $$$$. This failure seemed pre-mature, and was unusual even to a service manager with many years of experience. (he suggested that ford should be notified, which they were, today, 11/26/2007).
