I GOT A REPORT STATING THAT THE BRAKES WERE 2 MM ALMOST NO BRAKES I CALL THE DCH FORD AND ALSO SEND THEM THE REPORT FROM MERCEDES BENZ DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKES WERE 4 MM WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, I ONLY DROVE THE CAR FOR 273 MILES WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH FOR WEARING DOWN THE BRAKES AND ENDING WITH BAD BRAKES.
