2003 Ford Focus SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

2003 FORD FOCUS BRAKES ARE WEARING UNEVEN, RUBBING, AND SQUEEKING. THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE GROVES BEYOND ALLOWABLE LIMITS WHILE 40% OF PADS REMAIN. LOOKS AS IF THE FRONT PADS ARE EATING THE ROTORS. WHEN TAKEN TO FORD THEY SAY ITS NORMAL WEAR, WHAT A LIE.. THIS COULD CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, IM SURPRISED FORD HASNT LEARNED THEIR LESSON FROM PAST EXPERIENCE. SINCE FOR HAS REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION ON THEIR FAULTY BRAKES, THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT REALLY WISH YOU GUYS WOULD STEP FORWARD AND MAKE THEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED.*AK

WHILE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND COMING TO A STOP CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, AND IT SIDE SWIPED A SIGN POST NEAR A SCHOOL ZONE. THE POLICE DID NOT INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT NOR WERE THERE ANY INJURIES. VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SOME DENTS , AND THE LOSS OF THE EXTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR. *AK

BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT MAKES A METAL TO METAL NOISE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES. *AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT ANY SPEED A SQUEAKING SOUND WAS HEARD. DEALER REPLACED FRONT PADS, THEN ON SECOND OCCURRENCE, FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL EXCEEDED TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL. CONSUMER STATED SHE HAD TO PUT VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION TO STOP IT. *AK

THE BRAKES ARE SQUEEKING AND MAKING THUMPING NOISES AT ONLY 6000 MILES. *LA

BRAKE FAILURE;I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN SEATTLE, WA. I WAS KEEPING ABOUT TWO CAR LENGTHS BEHIND OTHER CARS. THAT STRATEGY PROVED TO BE A MISTAKE BECAUSE A LARGE ONE TON DODGE VAN SCOOTED INTO THE GAP AHEAD OF ME. WE WERE GOING ABOUT TEN OR TWELVE MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE LARGE VAN SUDDENLY STOPPED. I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND HELD IT TO THE STOP (FLOOR?) AND MY FORD FOCUS CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD ABOUT TWELVE FEET WITHOUT ANY FEEL OF SLOWING OR STOPPING. THE LARGE DODGE VAN AHEAD STOPPED ME.*AK

WHEN BRAKES GET WET, THEY MAKE A WHISTLING SOUND; THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE WHEN TURNING; THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN CUT AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED; THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BRAKES FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO CRASH. *AK
