2008 Ford Fusion - Defective Rear Brakes

My 2008 Ford Fusion is back in for a $750 fix on the continually defective rear brakes . I stopped buying GM because of known defects that were not fixed and now I am getting the same with Ford . So maybe I need to stop buying American made cars? 7/10/2013 Update: A Ford representative just contacted me regarding my comments to corporate. She informed me that she can not do anything to help me with this issue.

Ford Fusion Brakes Defective

I like my 2008, Ford Fusion , except the rear disc brakes are defective. At 50,000 miles, I've already had the brakes wearout twice; get scored and last time--stick on one side. I'm told by my mechanic it is because of a poor design that incorporates the parking brake into the rear brake system. While there are other complaints on the WWW of this , Ford has merely noted my complaint and reacted to it by doing nothing.
