Multiple failures of front rotors- stepped on brakes- and pulses and shakes, removed tire to check rotors- rotor cracked- same scenario each time- pass side 1st time 30K (August 1999), 2nd time 48K(April 2001), 3rd time 58K, pads failed- replaced Nov 2001, and Jan 2002- replaced caliper and pads.- now has 84K and so far ok. 1st time changed by Ford under warranty- 2nd time 18 months later- Ford dealer charged $600 + for new rotors- 3rd and 4th time I changed - along with caliper -each time dealer asked to check to make sure that whatever is causing the rotor to fail- please correct- each time they say - just a bad rotor----and when the 48K failure occured- Ford claimed to not have a record of the repair- though it was done under warranty-finally after the 3rd failure- figured it made more sense to fix it myself- rather than pay a dealer $650, and have it fail again in 18000 miles.
