| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Excessive rear brake wear. our 2005 montego, purchased new in jan. 2006 experienced excessive rear brake wear with less than 24k miles of normal driving. this required new pads and rotors be replaced. we generally get 50k to 60k miles of wear on the brakes of the other ford products we have owned over the last 20 years. ford offered no explanation other than brake wear is not covered by warranty after 12k miles. the service manager at bill utter ford in denton, tx said he has seen the same excessive wear pattern in as little as 20k miles on similar models. ford refused to assume any of the cost for replacement. clearly this is both a design failure and a safety issue that should addressed immediately. needless to say, if ford chooses to continue to ignore this safety issue i will not be buying anymore of their products. *nm |
