Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 and 2005 ford focus. one is an se and one a zx3. the front brakes on the 2004 went out at 32,000 miles and the 2005 went out at 40000 miles. both vehicles are driven nicely. on both there was a slight grinding for about a week and then total pad failure in the right inside pad. ford says the pads i bought from the dealer are lifetime warranty but the system when new carries no warranty. by the time problems are noticed, it's too late and both the pads and rotors need to be replaced. *jb
