Air Brake Disc Pads Problems of Ford Focus

I drive to work at the speed limit and I use the brakes very softly. I was parking at work and my brakes started to really grind. Took the car into the deealership and sure enough the car which had 18,000 miles on it, had to get new brake pads.

I have had "brake issues since day one of owning my 2001 Ford Focus station wagon. From the very beginning there was moaning sounds when I braked. The salesman & service dept told me "it's because they are new", @ around 13,000 miles they began to make more prominant "moans" I was told that it's "normal". At 16,500 miles severe moaning & grinding, then not being able to stop easily, I brought it in to an independant mechanic , since my bumper to bumper warranty does not cover "normal wear & tear items" such as brakes & I was told I would have to pay a diagnostic fee,also not in my warranty, to determine what the issues are,& this mechanic told me that I was metal to metal, I needed new front rotors & pads, $250. Also that the Focus has brake problems & was not designed well. Here it is 3 months later & @19,800 miles my back brakes start squealing & screeching loudly, I bring it in again & the shoes are completely worn down & I needed the rotors machined, it was another $135 (which was I bargain since I called the Ford dealer & they wanted @$300 for that work). He told me that his shop does all the fleet work for a neighboring enterprise rental car office & the Focus' are constantly in there for brakes. I called Ford's customer satisfaction line & reported the issue. I am mailing a letter to Ford's dispute resolution board & I am hoping that you will help us Focus owners with bad brakes get retribution from Ford for this faulty system. Thank you.

Problems with Ford Focus brakes. It started squeaking after 10,000 miles. I took it in to the dealership and they said it was normal and to check back around 36,000 miles. Well, it's already at 36,000 and it is already grinding and sqeaking all the time, even when it's not raining. I took it in to a professional brake specialist and they wanted to charge almost $ 500 to replace the rotars, brake pads and shoes. They said it very unusual for a car with low miles to have the rotars replaced. I was not about to dish out that amount of money to replace them when they should be covered under my extended warranty.
