2005 Ford Freestyle SEL review from North America
"Love it, but.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes replaced at 40,000; front "glazed".
General comments?
Love the vehicle;physically it is perfect for my real estate career. Lots of headroom front and back.
Lots of carrying capacity (real estate signs, etc.)
But.
Mechanic says rear brake pads wouldn't stop a motorcycle they're so small. Replaced them at 40K.
Front brakes will soon need attention;surface is glazed; have only 40K miles-mostly highway! I don't have a heavy foot.
