| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2005 ford 500 new in september 2005. on april 17, 2007, 20 months i took it to the ford dealer for a routine oil change and the 16,000 mile check up and i was told it needed new rear brakes. there was absolutely no reason why rear brakes should be required since i drive very little, and i took extremely good car of the vehicles. i own two other cars. this appeared to be a manufacturing or an engineering flaw. i was surprised on how quickly the ford dealer knew to look at the brakes for problems. they must be doing this on a regular basis. i called ford, and they said that the warranty on the brakes was only for 12 months, very convenient. nhtsa should start an investigation giving the number of complaints on this problem.ak |
