Questions
We drove to Leeds and back yesterday. The brakes were fully warmed up by the time I drove through the city centre. The noise from the discs was unacceptable after less than 8k.
I brought the pitting to the dealerships attention last July. They said the pitting was fine but to keep an eye on them.
I’ve just messaged them to say I’m not happy that they are so noisy and that I want them replaced under warranty. I’ll go to Ford directly if they want me to.
My discs normally last a good 30k.
These are obviously inferior quality.
Such a pity as the car is fantastic but let down by these silly “cost saving” issues which are coming back to bite Ford on the arse.

No not tried that, the fronts are pitted pretty bad and the rears quite heavily scored, when the dealer looked at them they put them down as orange for wear so waiting to hear from Ford who have just asked a load of questions so far. The dealer did a few miles in it so would they not have done that.
What is process for bedding in.?

)Had a couple of replies from Ford about my corroded brakes, basically they want me to book it back in for another diagnosis then they will speak to the dealer about a solution and possible contribution.
Asked why they cannot just contact the dealer for their report and let me know their decision if they are replacing under wrty or not to save me booking another day off and my car sitting at the dealers again. I said I either put up with it, do them myself, or a non main dealer to do then I guess they cannot get out of any future brake related wrty claims.
What would you guys do?

You need to get the brakes hot. If done correctly your brake leg should hurt afterwards! Ideally you need to find a closed road and brake from 80mph to 20mph, really hard. Repeat that five times and feedback.
