| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Purchased 05 escape at 40,096 miles in july '06. about 2 weeks later, rotors were warped so dealer replaced them for free. about 10,000 miles later they were warped again and they "turned" the rotors. about 4,000 miles later they were warped again so the dealer replaced them again. now less than 5,000 miles later, they are warped again. dealer looked at the car and refused any repairs, only noting that there is *nothing* wrong with the braking system, only the rotors are warped, with no known reason except it must be "the way i am driving". just today now the abs light is steady on, with no reason that i can notice from my own driving. my own research tells me that it may be a "tone ring" on the axle, which requires a repair for over $1,000 for each axle, as the entire axle must be replaced to repair the "tone ring". *jb |
