| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have now replaced the front brakes and rotors 3 times since buying this 2000 ford expedition in late 2000. i was informed by a former service manager from ford that this defect is known and wide spread. what he explained to me that they received a large lot of front right brake lines that were to small or concluded enough so as not to let the caliper completely release the pads from the rotor causing failure of both in as little as 15000 miles. there is a cover up and people are probably having accidents due to this defect. i will never buy another ford. we also had the leaking windshield over the drivers side that would leak into the electrical boards in the dash causing the lights to go out/the radio to go off and on by itself. the worst was it trying to start with no key or person in the vehicle and ruining the starter and the battery. do not buy this vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!! because ford still lies that these are not their problems. *jb |
