| I have a 2001 ford sport trac 2 wheel drive. when the truck had just passed the warranty period the brakes had to be replaced. the right front was down to bare metal. the rotor was replaced. twice since then the brakes have been replaced with the exact same ploblem and now need to be replaced again.ford parts were used and parts were professionally installed.i have spoked with 11 other people who have the same truck with the same problem. also the turn signal and brake lights do not work if the tilt steering is tilted down. my truck has less than 92000 miles, and quiiet frankly i am very disappointed. i have owned fords for the past 25 years and until this one i would not have owned anything else. now it's time to get a new truck and i am not at all set on a ford. *ak | |||
