Recommended Posts

I OWN AN 2016 ESCAPE titanium WHICH I purchased NEW 2 YEARS AGO
Dealer just told me rear brakes were worn and needed to be replaced soon,
Car has 16,000 mostly highway miles. Front brakes are fine.
Rears are 3 and 4 mm.
Complained to Ford, they said brakes are not warrantied.
Previously had a Subaru Forester, fronts replaced at 40k, rears were still fine at 80K.
At this point, I regret having gone back to Ford.
Who replaces rear brakes at 16K miles.
Obviously sometimg wrong with the car.
My GF has a mercedes with alot of miles, and was considering buying a lincoln.
I will tell her based on Ford's response to my issue, FORGET IT!.

My girlfriend had a 2015 Forester and it needed rear brakes at 36K miles....traded it in for a 2018 Escape....

 

Like fordtech1 said, get another opinion....since I am a mechanic by hobby, I didn't need a second opinion on her Subie....those rear brakes were trash at 36K...

Alot will depend on your driving. I had a 2011 Jeep Patriot that wore early in the rear, a 2009 AWD Fusion that wore out the rear earlier than expected. My 2017 2.0 AWD  Escape SE has 32k km's on it and I am suspicious of early wear on the rear....haven't looked closely yet, but the common denominator? I drive hilly, twisty mountain roads...especially if you are an AWD model, the traction control will wear the rear brakes out early.
