1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

Pre-mature wear of rear brake rotors. After 34,000 miles, squeaking brakes developed. Upon inspection, both rear brake rotors are severely scored while front rotors show no wear (smooth in appearance). Rear brake pads are still at 8mm thickness. Rear rotors will have to be replaced in near future at our expense.

2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2018

2016 Ford Escape 1. 6 se awd has front brake squeeling proplem once heated up and occasionally when driven for shorter times. About 3/4 around town, 1/4 highway driving. Brought in to Ford after about 1 year. They sanded the surface of the pads, rotors. Problem ceased for a little over 8 months. Problem returned and not brought in until incessant like before. This time, nothing was done. Was told with no abnormal signs, this was normal. VIN check returns no recalls.

3 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2018

I have been advised that the rear brake rotors on my Escape are severely corroded and need replacement. The corrosion has also damaged the pads. This has lead to pulsations and uneven braking. Mileage approximately 34,000 miles when I was made aware of the problem though braking performance suffered before that. Ford has told me they are not responsible for the salty conditions in pennsylvania and do not cover corrosion. This unusual wear has created unsafe braking conditions and braking system failure which were not expected so early in the vehicle life.
