The contact owns a 2006 Ford Five hundred. The contact heard a grinding noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when he shifted into reverse. The rear brakes would also continuously grind.

Rear brakes went out at 23,000 miles. Needed new rotors and pads. Ford makes disposable rotors, in that they can't be turned or resurfaced. They are throw away rotors, and I had to buy all new ones at $100 a piece. Why did rear go out before front" why does Ford make disposable parts" don't know, but it is a shame and a rip off.
Within four days of oil/lube and filter the rear brakes and rotors needed to be completely replaced on the 2005 Ford 500 with 20,000 miles. It cost $375, not covered under warranty or by dealer.
