When driving 55 mph or above and applying the brakes entire steering column vibrates, cause unknow., dealer replaced the brake rotors and pads, which did not correct the problem.

Front brakes including driver side rotor required replacement at 26,500 miles. The outside brake pad on this wheel, visible thru aluminum wheel, had a full 3/16" of pad remaining and the inner pad was completely gone (metal to metal) when replaced. Only sign of problem was unusual noise approx. One week before replacement. All other previous cars have been GM or Chrysler which have "squealer clips" on brake pads that alert you to need for repair while pads are still in safe operating condition. Dealer told me Ford does not put these clips on their pads. I believe these low cost clips are a very important safety feature and should be mandated on all cars sold in the us.
