Escape XLT 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,000 miles

The A/C drips inside wheel-well causing RUST to effect wheel tone ring and caliper on passenger side only. No transmission symptoms since brake calipers replaced 2018. We discovered undetected sticking caliper (and a more rusty Tone Ring) by bright orange brake fluid when bleeding aft new Rotor, Pads. RUST inside fluid via caliper piston caused caliper sticking -that side only, gone unnoticed maybe due to ABS system efficiency. Simultaneously my transmission was acting sluggish to shift at times just aft idling 20mins with A/C on in extreme heat. NO transmission symptoms over 2yrs now.

Ford service tells me that they don't make rotors with much thickness so you can't turn them anymore and you have to change the rotors when you change the brake pads.... Really? If I get anymore bad bad news... I will never buy Ford again!
