Am I The Only One Having Trouble With The Rear Brakes?
Because of leaking brake fluid I have had the rear left caliper replaced 3 times at my local independent mechanic. Now I have taken the car to Ford. They are going to replace both rear calipers with a redesigned caliper and new hoses to fit. The charge is approx. $1200. This seems like a recall situation to me. Replace pads yes but the calipers? I have about 80,000 miles on the car.
