Well I'm speechless, how can this be right? Only 17000 miles in 2 years. Do you think it is associated with increased weight of the car? My 6 yr old Fusion never needed disks but had pads at about 45000. Maybe my foot has become very heavy

It's a heavy car and the ecoboost is an iron block. so very much biased towards to front weight n braking wise

Yes I thought the weight would be an issue. I don't have Ecoboost!

The 1.6tdci is 31KG heavier than the Ecoboost.

I just had my 1.6 tdci in for service at 17,000 miles and the reported pad wear was 50% which is bad enough.

With normal driving pads should last 40k - 60k miles, and discs even longer, I think I would challenge Ford regarding them paying part cost.I argued the case with Renault when I had Scenic mpv, and they replaced discs and pads for free (car was out of warranty)
Good luck KeithW

Many thanks for that advice, it confirms what I thought and my experience with my two Fusions. I will contact Ford.
