problem #1

Explorer

  • miles
Braking system has failed on this vehicle 4 times in less than 40,000 miles, 3 master cylinders not counting the original, and 3 complete braking systems on all 4 wheels. This vehicle is being repaired at scarff Ford in auburn, wa and put back on the road, if it has not been fixed the four time, what makes them think the fifth time will do it. This vehicle is not only a hazard to whom ever gets it, but to everyone around it. Why are they allowed to put a vehicle back on the road with known problems?
