| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001, mustang, hydroplaned at 50 mph in heavy rain, spun 360 degrees, and slid down an embankment. had flat on right front, and required a tow truck. while towing the vehicle the tow truck operator noticed that the car was pulling hard. when he examined the vehicle both rear brake calipers were glowing red hot. i was informed by my insurance adjuster and the mechanic that the calipers were corroded. this required replacing the calipers on both rear wheels. i drive the vehicle every day for 125 mile round trip to work and have for the last 12 months. there was no warning when this occurred and find it hard to beleive that the calipers were locked up for any length of time.*ak |
