So,
My wife's 2017 Platinum Expedition EL with 22" wheels as bought off the lot is going through front and rear brake pads AND rotors every 7500 miles! We were able to get the first two change outs covered by warranty. But now we are on our own. The local Ford dealership blames it on my wife's driving. However, My wife's 2005 King Ranch Expedition had normal brake life of 20-30k miles due to the hill we live on. My wife also had a 2015 Platinum Expedition EL with 22" wheels that also went through brakes at a 7500 mile rate before it was totaled in an accident. My 2002 F-250 also has had normal brake wear. 7500 miles is ridiculous! What is strange is when I google my issues, I don't see it pop up as much as I would expect. Surely their are others out there experiencing my problems? To finish my post, I have been told by a family member to get holed and slotted aftermarket rotors and ceramic pads. The reason for this is to keep temperature down to see if we can get better mileage on the brakes. Is anybody else experiencing this problem? And do you have any better ideas as to fix this issue? Brand referrals on aftermarket parts are appreciated as well!
Thank you in advance!
Mike
