Description of the problem | I bought my cougar in 1997. At 6,113 miles the front rotors were warped and had to be turned . At 8,788 miles the roters had to be replaced. At 15,718 miles the rotors were warped again and had to be turned again. At 16,992 miles the rotors were warped again and turned once again. At 20,990 miles more problems with the brakes,premium aftermarket rotors and pads were ordered and were installed at 21,461 miles. Then at 26,402 the brake problem continues the rotors were turned again. I have tried to be patient with the service department at centroplex ford but the last time they turned the rotors they said that they don't know what to do to fix the problem and i am very concerned. My warranty will run out soon and i would like my brakes fixed for good . |
