Thomas Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have a 2011 Edge with 52,000 km. Lately I have had an issue with sometimes the rear left caliper not pulling back enough and the brake pads getting so hot the rim is hot and there is a burning smell (after 30 minutes of highway). I am pretty sure the caliper is somewhat stuck. My local Ford dealer is willing to replace the calipers, rotors and pads under warranty, but cannot just yet. My question is this - the dealer cannot give me an estimate of repair date as they cannot find ANY rotors for my car anywhere, and there supplier is not giving any dates back for parts. Is this normal? I am going to start bugging Ford Canada as they are forcing me to drive a vehicle where I don't know when the brakes may fail totally. Any advice? Has anybody else had such bad parts availability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 When does your warranty expire? Would keep an eye on that. Have you had previous service experience with this dealer? Usually rotors and pads just get resurfaced, not so easy to get them replaced, IME. Calipers, maybe. No idea on availability of calipers. But rotors and pads should be plentiful.

MrHappy Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Interesting, My dealer charged me for the pads and rotors for the exact same issue claiming they wouldn't be replaced by Ford under warranty. I can't comment on parts in Canada but our parts were available the next day at least, fyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
