Mine is a 2003 ZTW and I did check the front brakes this morning . It looks like the pads are ok , but the discs feel like thay have ridges in them. But the dealer says that there is no problem. Over the weekend, the lock on my hatchback went bad. It won't work at all. And it was just replaced by ford on a recall issue. It worked fine up til then. Going back to the dealer today.

I got this letter from Ford
Dear Mr. Wickens,
Thank you for contacting the Ford of Canada Customer Relationship
Centre. We received your message sent on 5/12/2006 regarding the warranty
on Ford vehicles.
It is always a pleasure to assist our customers. We thank you for your
recent inquiry. In an effort to assist you, we have researched this
matter on your behalf.
According to our resources, the warranty begins on the original retail
delivery date, or on the date of first use, whichever occurs first
("original warranty start date"), regardless of the km on the vehicle at
the time of purchase.
Mr. Wickens, if you have any other inquiries or concerns, please feel
free to contact us and we will be happy to address them.
Thank you for contacting Ford of Canada.
Sincerely,
Yves
Ford of Canada Customer Relationship Centre

Well, Ford's warranty does not appear to be as fair as the GM warranty you had noted.

I also have a 03 ZTW and noisy brakes are just the way it is. They stop fine and still have plenty of pad (24,900 miles). Granted, the rotors are small and probably won't last as long as bigger ones, but so far, so good.

What type of noises are your brakes making? Squealing, grinding, creaking etc. My new ZXW rear brakes have started making a squealing sound the last few feet of a stop. They are drum brakes on the rear of 2006 wagons.

What kind of noise? When they get wet and dry, the noise sounds like "grinding off the rust." Otherwise, when moving slowly and the radio's down, just a normal dissimilar material rubbing type sound, which is normal in my book. Don't hear it when moving fast and then braking. Oh, my ZTW has rear disks and I'm pretty sure they are biased toward the rears, as I get more brake dust there than on the fronts.
