Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,487 miles
I had been hearing a noise in the rear of my car but the dealer kept saying they could not hear it. While driving in town my brakes locked up and I had to have it towed to the dealer. The dealer said that I had been driving with my park brake on and that voided my warranty. I had never used the parking brake. I had to pay for the brake work and new drums. Since then I've had the brakes re-done twice. This should not need to be done so often, should it?
