Description of the problem | 2012 ford explorer rear brakes - vehicle was purchased as a certified pre-owned. Part of certifying the vehicle was to replace the rear pads and rotors at 20k miles. At 32k i found myself having to replace pads and rotors again. This is known issue with ford explorers where pads are seizing in the calipers and dragging on the rotors causing premature wear. Ford dealers and ford customer service are refusing to recognize this as problem, and more importantly as a potential safety issue. |
