    I AM HAVING A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPING. I HAD THEM TURNED AT AROUND 18,000 MILES AFTER FINDING SIGNS OF WARPINGWHICN INCLUDED VIBRATIONS WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. NOW ABOUT 8,000 MILES LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN THE ROTORS NEED TO BE TURNED. IT IS GETTING VERY ANNOYING AND I KNOW FOR FACT THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

    FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM SQUEALING EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES. IT GETS WORSE AS THE WEATHER GETS HOTTER. I TOOK TO THE DEALER, THE FIRST TIME THEY APPLIED SOME CHEMICAL TO STOP IT FROM SQUEALING, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED 2 WEEKS LATER. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY FORD COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE BRAKES TO SQUEAL. *AK

    - TEMPE, AZ

    BRAKES PULSATED WHEN APPLIED AT OR ABOVE 50 MILES PER HOUR. TOOK INTO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND FOUND THAT FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED. DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS AND SAID THAT GM KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS. WITH LESS SURFACE AREA ON THE ROTORS NOW, I AM WORRIED THEY WILL WARP AGAIN IN LESS MILES. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH HIGHER QUALITY ROTORS TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. *AK
