2019 Ford Fiesta 4dr Hatch
turbocharged 197hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 14000 mi | Grinding noise from rear brakes. Pulsing from brakes, likely warped rotors. Rear rotors mostly rusty. I took the car to the dealer and expected warranty replacement, given the low vehicle mileage. Dealer tried to sell me pads and rotors, didn't recommend calipers or caliper pins. I ended up replacing the rear calipers, rear caliper pins, front/rear pads, front/rear rotors, and brake fluid myself out of pocket. |
