The 'burban was the first I've ever seen/heard of this happening. I've done my own brakes since I was 16 and never had this happen....Let's see. 89 jeep YJ, 92 Ford Ranger, 03 Ford Ranger, 03 F150

Guys need some advice.. my wife's explorer just had its brakes done 3wks ago. we went on vacation and it started making a grinding sound. she drove it anyway for the rest of this wk. I take the wheel off and see that the wheel was actually rubbing the brake caliber, i go to man handle the caliber and it falls off! The ford shop forgot to put the bolts that hold it to the rotor
My wife has been driving w my 3 yr old for a wk, this could have been a disaster!
What do i tell the idiots at the service department in the morning?? This sucks and not to mention my wife has to drive my truck to work which is like 120 mile haul

well guys everything is fixed up, took it there, he was apologetic(sp). He put me new brakes pads on an again apologized again. He said he's never seen both bolts fall out and somebody obvisously didnt do there job, he went straight back there and had a team meeting which made me feel better. I like the service manager a lot or i would have pitched a fit. He's always been fair w me. I will not take my auto's back there, lesson learned. . And thanks guys for dealing w me venting. i just can't stand for simple things that could have a huge affect to go overlooked.
