Approximately every 6,000 miles, my brakes start vibrating when coming to a stop. I believe the disc is warping but to date, nothing concrete has been done to fix the problem. So far, the rotors have been turned twice and the disk replaced twice. The problem is reoccuring and I will be taking the car in again. This is a safety hazard as the car doesn't stop properly and the vibrating steering wheel may cause a loss of control. I see several other complaints of the same nature and most seem to be from alaska. Is the cold weather somehow responsible? It takes time, effort, and a lot of emotional grief to argue with the dealership each time I take the car in and tell them that the brakes haven't been right since driving the car of the lot. When is ford going to permanently fix the problem? Changing the disk is apparently not a permanent fix. There is a major problem with the system itself. What do we have to do to get satisfaction, start a class action law suit? Have an accident caused by faulty breaks with injury or death and publicise a large settlement law suit? All I want is breaks I can trust. As it is, I get into the vehicle and wait for the vibrtation to start!

The vehicle began experiencing a brake fade while coming to a hard stop. After the third time this happened, consumer tried to duplicate the event but was unsuccessful. Consumer took the vehicle to the local service station to have the brake system inspected. The technician looked over the brakes and saw no signs of damage or abnormal rotor wear. The tech suggested theat the rear rotors and all pads be replaced. In addition, the tech informed consumer that the brake line may not have been adequately bled from a previous recall service prior to purchasing the vehicle. Two weeks after the inspection there was a faint scraping sound coming from the right rear of the vehicle. Two weeks after hearing the noise, the brakes failed. On the ground were pieces of the brake pad and small fragments of cast steel. Brake fluid leaked heavily from the rear passenger side. The vehicle was towed to the local service center. The owner of the center concluded that the cause appeared to be a caliper which froze in the engaged position due to condensation within the caliper leading to inner corrosion and thus mechanical failure.
