2000 FORD FOCUS — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING LOUDLY AND CONSTANTLY EVERY TIME YOU COME TO A STOP. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE ELMWOOD PARK, NJ DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE CHECKED IT TWICE AND SAID THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED. HAVE READ FORD'S DISCLAIMER ABOUT BRAKE NOISE GIVEN TO ME AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR (AND AFTER I COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM ONCE IT STARTED AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN BROKEN IN), AND IT MENTIONS "OCCASIONAL" BRAKE NOISE. THIS NOISE IS CONSTANT! I TOLD THE FORDCOMPANY AND DEALERSHIP THAT I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE BRAKES. THEY SHOULD NOT BE MAKING THIS KIND OF NOISE ALL THE TIME AND THE NOISE IS ONLY GETTING WORSE! THE DEALERSHIP (ELMWOOD PARK, NJ) HAS TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL CHARGE ME IF I ASK THEM TO CHECK THEM AGAIN (THEY CHECKED THEM AT 2000 MILES AND THEN AGAIN AT 8000 MILES). THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS FAILED TO ANSWER MY REQUESTS VERBALLY AND A SECOND TIME PUT INTO WRITING TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR ABOUT THIS MATTER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR! *AK
