Fusion

  • 25,000 miles
1908 Ford Fusion rear braking system, brake pads must be replaced at 25,000 miles. Rear rotors must be turned. Ford Motor Company refuses to admit problems after call to review issue with my purchased Fusion in 2008. Loss of rear braking can lead to incident's, crashes and injury. Dealer implied that this is an ongoing problem with Taurus and Fusion.it is my understanding Taurus has been recalled for rear brake problems associated with faulty brake pads.
