| I noticed that my rear brakes were making noise on 8-25-08. i brought my car into the shop to get an oil change and have the brakes looked at. i was told my rear brakes were metal to metal on the inside pads. i needed new brake pads and rotors. i brought the car to the dealership since i only have 25,000 miles on the car and they replaced the rear brake pads and rotors but could not figure out what went wrong. i was then charged $310 to have them replaced. my front brakes are only worn down 10%. *tr | |||

| I have just spent $230 to have the rear brake disks replaced on my 2007 ford fusion. they were so pitted from corrosion that they made a terrible noise when the brakes were applied. they might even have been a safety hazard for all i know. the front ones were replaced a month after i bought the car new in 2007 for the same reason. the car has been driven a mere 20,000 miles. the mechanic tells me that the front disks will probably need replacement again in a year or two. further, he tells me that it didn't matter that the warranty period was past ( by a couple of months), because this is considered a wear problem and, therefore, not covered by the warranty. is my experience unique among fusion owners? i bet not. clearly, ford has dropped the ball on its brake disk materials specification. i will certainly look at other brands before i even consider buying another ford. | |||

| I have had my vehicle since april 2007. since that time my check brakes and brake fluid light keeps coming on while driving. i pull over and pop the hood to check my brake fluid levels and it is okay. i mentioned this twice to the service departments when bringing my vehicle in for routine oil changes and they have not found anything wrong or a reason for this light to keep coming on in the dash gauges. has anyone else had a similar problem and if so what is the solution. could this be a relay or switch that is faulty. i would just like to not have this light coming on 10-20 times a day while driving because it is annoying to have to keep pushing the reset button on my dash. the red brake symbol does however stay lit once i press the reset button. *tr | |||
