Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing persistent brake issues even after replacing the rotors and pads. These problems may stem from warped or unevenly worn brake rotors, which can cause a pulsating brake pedal due to inconsistent brake pad contact. Additionally, misaligned brake components can lead to performance issues despite new installations. Contaminated brake fluid, often resulting from inadequate maintenance, may also hinder the effectiveness of the new braking system. Furthermore, caliper issues, such as lack of lubrication on the caliper slide pins, can impact braking performance. Lastly, some owners have encountered problems with blocked brake hoses, which can result in caliper failure and subsequent damage to pads, rotors, and wheel bearings. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to thoroughly inspect their braking system to ensure all components are functioning correctly.
