Brake Disc Pads Problems of Ford Expedition

Driving vehicle brake function seems normal, but randomly the brake pedal will depress far lower in order to brake. After a few pumps it rises and brakes at a higher position. I took the car to the mechanic who had previously replaced the brake pads and found nothing wrong, also during week long test drive mechanic did not have same experience. I have had the experience 5-6 times, and spouse has also had the brake pedal go too far down before it brakes. This issue has happened at high & lo speeds street & highway. It is very random too, does not happen on every vehicle use.

The brakes on the 2003 Expedition isn't designed to hold the heavy weight of the Expedition. This cause the brakes to need to be replaced numerous times. Ford needs to recall the brakes and put bigger brake pads in them. I have had to even replace them metal to metal in the front 7 times in 3 years and under 45,000 miles. I even had to replace the master cylinder due to leakage at 45,000 miles. Also due to electronic problems I have had I was unable to lock the SUV and had the alarm sound because of it and windows don't go up and down correctly.

Ford Expedition 2003 front brakes and brake system failed. The consumer stated there was visible dusting, difficulty stopping and brake chatter. The consumer was told the problem was due to incredibly high and overheating from the original brake pads, the problem was so bad that the rotors welded to the rims.

Brake system was defective, which caused the brake pads to wear out prematurely. Manufacturer had an update kit that cost $233. 00 plus labor. The update kit has a different brake pad material then the one from the factory. The factory brake pad wore through the rotors extremely fast and damaged the rotors.

Excessive wearing of rotors and pads. Front (right & left) brake pads needed to replaced as well as rotors at 25,000 miles. Car is not driven hard. Ford service center(maguire's Ford of hershey, PA) stated that there was still padding left and that there was no metal contact with rotors, but the rotors were worn to 1. 1 ickness(FL) and 1. 09(fr). I am having specs on rotors independantly verified.

Vehicle was taken to the dealer for a routine inspection, and mechanic determined that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced due worn out parts. The brake pads reduced brake rotor thickness below minimum safe thickness for new pads. The average brake pad life was 12k to 81k miles. If they are non Ford pads, rotor failure would occur in as little as 3k miles. The consumer requested a written agreement to refunded the monies paid for this defect and to cover all future costs of abnormal replacements.

2003 Ford Expedition with around 17000 miles. Brakes are not ridden. Front brake pads wore out. From the dealership (mossy Ford, san diego), "Ford has redesigned the brake pads and we need to replace all four pads. " I asked if there was a design flaw with using low quality pads on the original equipmment. I asked if this has been seen before. No answer was given. I would like to know if this is a repeating theme. It sounds pretty suspicious.

2003 Ford Expedition . Ford informs me after only 30,000 miles the types of brake pads used destroyed the rotors; must buy new rotors and purchase the newly designed Ford brake pads with special springs and such to prevent the future problems with pads that eat rotors. But , this Ford does not considered this to be defective. Total cost for brakes only - $ 909. 00.

Massive brake dust accumulation.

My 2004 Ford Expedition is 31 days old and has excessive brake wear, which I consider a safety issue. The brake dust, in less than two thousand miles, is caked on the front wheels and extends the entire length of the running boards on each side. The amount of brake dust covering the wheels and running boards indicates excessive wear of the brake pads. I am greatly concerned that the brakes will fail prematurely. Ford motor company does not consider this an issue.

Rear brake pads were worn to the metal at 32,000 miles on my 2003 Ford Expedition. I am told that this was very unusual for the rear pads to wear out so fast. Brakes felt like they were failing at the time I heard the scraping of the metal scraping against the rotors.

Brake pads wear prematurely and score rotors, along with excessive brake dust.

Unusually high volume of brake dust accumulation from front brake pads on '03 Ford Expedition.

Excessive brake dust on front wheels of 2003 Ford Expedition. Front brakes needed replacement after only 13,000 miles. Rotors also needed replacement. Brake replacement on all previous vehicles took place after 25,000 miles were on the vehicles. Ford customer service did not believe that there is a problem with the brake pads or brakes and was not willing to do anything to resolve the problem. However, I did see a notice to Ford dealerships that admitted the brake dust problem, and stated that Ford was looking at different brake pads for the 2003 Expedition.

The front wheels on every new Expedition I see on the road (including mine) display a far excessive sooting from the front brake pads. This rapidly turns the wheels dark and dirty, but more importantly indicate a far too excessive wear rate for the front brake pads, indicating an engineering change of pad material is required.
