Vehicle is a 2019 Ford Ranger mileage is 25700..just had to have all four rotors and brake pads replaced. rear axle rotors showed unaccepatable pitting causing premature wear on pads, while front showed evidence of intermittent pulsing, causing uneven wear . dealership informed me that their hands were tied, this was considfered a normal wear and tear. Ford Customer Care also informed me that there were no programs at this moment to address this problem. I have noticed on your site that there are consumer complaints about the brakes on this vehicle and it's my request that further investigation of the brakes and materials is warranted

This trucks rear brake pads have been wearing unevenly since it was new. The inside rear brake pads are showing heavy wear and the outside pads are not showing even wear. This truck has been into the Kendall Ford of Wasilla Alaska for service in early 2022 and this was first noted and repaired. Now this issues has been found again by owner/operator. There seems to be and issue with the slid pins/bolts for caliper are not allowing the outside pads to slide when pedal is active. This is not an isolated issue according to blogs I have found on this issue.

When applying brake you have to pump brakes, if going at a low speed you’ll only slow down about 20% if going 50mph or higher you have to pump brakes 2-3 times to get the mushyness to go away and start braking properly

The brake pedal at times goes almost to the floor. One time it traveled past the gas pedal and my foot engaged it causing it to lunge forward. Had there been a vehicle in the parking spot ahead of me, I would have hit it. I've taken it to the dealer but they claim this is a "normal characteristic for this vehicle". This is both an accident waiting to happen and a problem in need of a solution/recall.

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS PAST THE GAS PEDAL WHEN MAKING A NORMAL STOP CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR UNLESS CARE IS TAKEN.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ATTEMPTED ONE REPAIR WHICH CONSISTED OF BLEEDING THE BRAKES WHICH RESULTED IN NO IMPROVEMENT. NOW FORD CONTENDS THAT THE BRAKES ARE OPERATING NORMALLY AND REFUSE TO MAKE FURTHER REPAIRS
