| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Premature failure, excessive premature wear of the brake rotors. vehicle serviced by trebour ford every 5,000 miles according to service schedule. at this visit, informed that brake pads were close to needing replacement. this is normal and understandable. however, was also informed that the brake rotors were beyond the point of being used further. they were worn so badly that they could not be machined even once. my experience is that brake rotors when properly maintained should last the life of the vehicle. this vehicle has been maintained properly and has 34,917 miles which has been primarily highway usage. the need for brake rotor replacement at this point was due to defective equipment installed at time of production.*ak |
