problem #1

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

1997 Ford tarus has brake problems. Began with shaking of steering wheel when brakes applied at exits off of interstate. After 3 attempts from Jan 99 thru Oct 01 to get the local Ford dealer to repair under warranty I had them semi- repaired at a local just brakes repair shop where I was told that calipers weren't releasing. Still have brake noise as if calipers are not fully releasing.
