Not just this car..but this sunday i went to the livonia spree fireworks as i work about a block from where they were shooting them off with the g/f and some other friends of mine. On the way home the brakes started to act up and i was like SOB, so after the g/f and i spent some time here we get back into my car so i can take her home and well the brakes are GRINDING BAD!!! so i said screw it, lets take the excursion (spare car). Next day i cancle plans to golf to work on my car and fix my brakes. I tear it all apart and only ONE pad is warn down. The inside of the drivers front...so my dad and i both agree that it is something wrong with the caliper to cause the pad to wear sooooooo uneven. So i take it in and they said my car was fine, the brakes are fine (minus needing pads), so we are like no....this is not normal...the caliper is messed up...out of the 50+ years of car wrok between my dad and i i think we know when a caliper is messed up. (my car only has 27030 miles on it)... Well they refuse to admit that the caliper is messed up. So whatever, my dad told the service manager that it was bullshit and that we are not comming back to the wackjob of a dealership that brighton ford is and that they just lost a ford customer (mind you my dad has 32 years in with ford), the service mannager said i'm sorry but there is nothing more that i can do.

I go to murrys to get new pads and get my rotors turned....well GUESS WHAT...my rotors are tooooo thin to be turned and were too thin to be driving on because of the shitty brakes. so i ended up spending over a hundred bucks on my front brakes when it should have been covered by ford. They also said that there was some rust in the slides where the pads slide...i told them that there was a tiny bit of surface rust but nothing that is going to cause a malfunction.... so whatever screw ford and everything to do with them
