2006 Ford Freestyle 2 wheel drive. Rear brakes prematurely wearing out. Replaced twice before 28,000 miles. Complete rotors as well. Front brake pads are cracked and rotors grooved. 31,000 total miles on vehicle. Ford says brakes failing due to cars exposure to moisture and that the pads swell causing drag. Not logical and do not believe it. Many others have same issue with Ford Freestyles.

I purchased my 2006 Ford Freestyle AWD new, and at 22,388 miles, the rear brakes needed to be replaced. Now, at 30,495 miles, the rear brakes and rotors need to be replaced and a pint of brake fluid needed to be added. I find this totally excessive.
