Shudder then disappeared and never came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kvntoday Guests Posted 04/06/04 05:51 AM Share Posted 04/06/04 05:51 AM Had the rotors skimmed at 8500km and again at 24,000km they were worse the second time to the point that my wife would not drive the car.Am still concerned about the "Vagueness" with the brakes under heavy braking, seems to wander a bit.Have had the hand brake adjusted twice, last time it would not hold the car at all.Love the car but don't like the brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvntoday Guests Posted 04/06/04 05:57 AM Share Posted 04/06/04 05:57 AM Just cheap crap manufacturing I think? They (Ford) probably consider it cheaper to listen to us moan and just skim the rotors as required ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
