Brakes problem
1997 Ford Taurus Front Wheel Drive Automatic 142000 miles

After just buying a 1997 Taurus, and the next morning in fact (after a day and night of rainy weather) when applying the brakes received a clunking / banging noise similiar to a hammer banging type noise coming from rear of car in either the rear brakes, or in the trunk area! Any ideas? Thank You - Ray (rn1944@verizon. Net)

Sounds like moisture got in on your brake linings and caused them to hang for a moment (I've had that happen). Should go away as they dry out. If it continues, have them looked at. Your front brakes do most of the stopping, and they should work fine.
