SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS NEED TO BE CUT DUE TO WARPING. THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKES BUT, THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE HAD TO BE CUT DOWN EVERY 12,000-15,000 MILES SINCE NEW. AT 48,000 MILES THE FRONT ROTORS COULD NOT BE CUT ANY MORE AND NEEDED REPLACED. THEY WERE CUT THREE TIMES BEFORE BEING REPLACED. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A 1989 MERCURY COUGAR AND MERCURY DID FIND A PROBLEM EITH THE ROTORS BEING TO THIN. AFTER BEING REPLACED I NEVER HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THEM FOR OVER 70,000 MILES. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY KNOW PROBLEMS OR REPAIRS FOR MY CAR. *AK
