Sign up with GoogleHi Guys n Dolls, I have a 2019 Ecosport, have done 38 000 Km's, and i recently had to have the brake discs skimmed and new pads put on.
At 1st service I still had 7mm second service 4mm so I knew i would need to change them at 3rd service, yet the left hand pads wore down to 0 within 8 000 Km's. Only the left not the right. Was told it was due to heavy braking which is nonsense I have been driving an automatic for many many years and never had a problem, usually had to change pads at round about 45 - 50 000 and have never had to skim discs. So should i be concerned that there is an underlying problem? One Ford guy said it was because the disc on the left was warped due to being hot then going through a puddle which cooled it. Okay, so now I need to avoid puddles? Cant stay off work when it rains! Please give me some advise as I feel the underlying problem is not being dealt with. Thanks
