No, we really bought it with 49,000 miles on it...we bought it in a small town that my grandma lives in at an auto dealership and it belonged to one of my grandmas friends that only used it for work (rent-a-cop)

When it comes to cars, a lot of things could be worng. If you have had the break pads checked and it's not that, it could be that it needs aligned, maybe the break pad is slipping, shocks, spark plugs, I mean my mom's van used to do that and when we took it in they told us it needed new break pads. That could be something you might want to look into more.

Ok so first of all, it has way more than 49,000 miles. Either the odometer is broken, or you've bought a car that someone has modified to stop the odometer from turning over.
Sounds like you really need a chassis lube. This happens quite often on Fords.

Dude, are you sure it's not the brakes? I think you should check the brake pads, calipers, and brake fluid level. Swing by a tire sales place you trust and ask them about it. It sounds like a simple fix that should cost you little. Hope this helps man!

its probably the brakes. they may not have had a chance to seat on the rotors correctly if theyre brand new, theyll wear into em. Could also be a warped rotor. Also sometimes when its humid your brakes will scream for some reason.

Hi,You might of changed your brakes,but everything you are saying,points to your brakes.I would have the brakes check out again.The right turn might be a shock,have it check out as well.

sounds like it might be a wheel bearing
