| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I took my 2005 ford 500 with 18,000 miles to the dealer for a noise in the back of the car and after replacing the strut under warranty to take care of the noise, i was told that the car needed new rear brakes and rotors. there is absolutely no reason why rear brakes should be required and certainly no excuse for the rotors needed to be replaced when the vehicle only have 18,000 miles and the front brakes are fine. it is clear that this vehicle has a design problem since the rear brake wheels are doing most of the work. this is a serious safety issue that needs to be address by ford and nhtsa. *jb |
