hi niky, did have my driver take the car to 2 other dealers when I 1st wrote this thread........I think Ford Manila and Ford Balintawak...both acknowledge my brake pedal is noisy daw and both considered the problem normal.......Ford Manila even went as far as saying ganun daw talaga mga Ford Expe and Explorers pag tumatagal......So does that mean I shouldn't be complaining????? My point is if it's not there the 1st time, it shouldn't be there at all and it's the dealer's responsibility within the warranty period to keep the vehicle that way especially the dealer where you bought the car from...in my case Ford Global. After the warranty period, it's ok if they tell you that kasi hindi na nila responsibility yun. M54, you mentioned you worked in tha automotive industry before....maybe you can answer this question... Why is there reluctance on the part of the dealer to replace defective parts when the car is under warranty???? Are they liable in any way for parts and labor on cars that are still under warranty????? How does that work????
