One problem related to brake disc pads has been reported for the 2018 Ford Escape. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2018 Ford Escape based on all problems reported for the 2018 Escape.
At the 32,000 mile routine service the rear brake rotors and pads had to be replaced for, imho, premature wear. Both rear rotors were deeply scored on their outside faces, while the outside pads were worn down their wear slots and the inside pads were hardly worn at all. The service manager said this was normal wear and tear and blamed the uneven wear on dirty pad slide pins. He couldn't account for the deep scoring. My experience over 6 decades of vehicles is that pads should last 40,000 miles and rotors 100,000 miles or more.
