Why a brand new car would need brakes and rotors with less than 25000 miles. I guess I shouldn't have bought a Ford.

sorry! look to the right of this page under problems.click on that and start reading the stories about the brakes and other things.then click on Q&A and read all that too.it ain't to good?

25000 miles is about right for pads. Most mechanics will try to sell you the rotors even if you don't need them. If you did not wear the pads down to the point of grinding the rotors should be ok. I have gone in to get break pads and have had guys try to sell me new calipers and rotors. Pads are easy to replace and cost around 40 dollars.
