Well, I took my new 2004 Ford Focus into the dealer yesterday after 3 friends 
(all in the car service business for over 100 years total) told me that my 
brake was really bad and defective. It has huge ridges, brake dust all over the 
rim so that you cant even see anything but black. The "nice" service man 
looked at me and said "SO?".
I have 2300 miles on the car and it had 400 miles on it when I bought it. He 
told me that I could replace the brake, AT MY COST, and that in another 2000 
miles it would look the same as it does now, "BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT IS 
supposed TO LOOK." If that is true, then my other 3 are defective because they sure 
don't look like that one. You can cut your hand if you run it over this thing! 
I read that others are being told that it is caused my "moisture," I got that 
one too. Must be a bulletin they sent to all the dealers.
I plan on filing a complaint to everyone who will take one. It would have 
been less work for them to just fix my car!
Thanks for letting me vent!
