Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 15,000 mile i replaced my rear brake shoes and then two days after that they started to squeal very badly like they where worn out again. i returned to the ford dealer in which i purchased the car and who had replaced the brakes they reapplied lube to the shoes and drum. that worked for three days and now once again they squeal again. i have replaced the brakes again at 25,000 miles and they still squeal and no one knows what to do. both times the brakes where replaced they were done at a ford dealership. i have been told to maybe purchased new drums even though there is nothing wrong with the current ones but i don't see the need to do such a thing on a car that is barely 2 years old. please help. *nm
