WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY NEAR DEARBORN, MI, MY 2010 FORD TAURUS BEGAN TO INCREASE IN SPEED ON ITS ON. THE LAST TIME I LOOKED AT IT BEFORE I CRASHED, THE ODOMETER WAS AT ABOUT 80 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR BY PRESSING ON THE BRAKES.

THERE IS GRUNTING GRINDING AND SQUEALING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES THE CAR HAS 10000 MILES ON IT AND NOW IT PULLS SUDDENLY FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER ON HARD BRAKING. MY DEALER HAS REFUSED TO DOCUMENT MY PROBLEMS AND WANTS TO KEEP THE CAR FOR 2 TO 8 WEEKS TO EVALUATE AND FIX THE PROBLEMS, TO DATE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX IT. *TR

BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS DID NOT WEAR IN AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. ONLY THE INNER 1/2 INCH OF THE OUTER PAD APPEARS TO HAVE SEATED AGAINST THE ROTOR, NOT THE FULL WIDTH OF THE PAD. THE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS REAPPEARED ON THE NEW PARTS EXACTLY LIKE THE FIRST SET. THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT BRAKES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, IT'S NOT JUST ONE SIDE. AN UNUSUAL NOISE SOMETIMES OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. BRAKING DISTANCE IS COMPROMISED. *TR
