| Description of the problem | Rear brakes dust badly and have excessive wear. Documented this complaint on first trip to dealer after buying car. Since then i have made complaints to another mercury dealer. Today they tell me ford has re-engineered the rear brake pads to fix the problem but because the car is more than a year old i would have to pay for the new brake pads. *nm updated 07/30/08 |
