Well, I took my car into the dealer on Tuesday for new front pads and rotors - it was grinding really badly. I got my car back and it felt a bit funny. It didn't seem to brake as well. Last night, I was driving on the highway and had to come to a stop because of traffic up ahead. Apparently, my car didn't want to stop like it used to. I ended up swerving into the emergency lane and finally coming to a stop even with the car that was ahead of me. I went back to the dealer and apparently they put stock contour parts on my SVT. I don't know if that's what made the difference, but either way it's upsetting. What else is upsetting is that he was going to try to charge me the difference in price!
