2013 Taurus SHO PP brake issue

[SHOnUup]

My stock pads were cracked when I replaced them at 35k.

Sounds like a quality issue from the manufacturers side. No good...

I'm thinking they weren't designed to hot lap at Milan Dragway during Livernois Customer Appreciation Day too. Think that was root cause?

lol Maybe not, but for a car that was designed as a,"Go to the track for the day and then go get the kids," they really should be better at long beatings.

Your car had 21K when you got it. Who knows how it was abused prior. My 2013 was fine (besided the grinding noise made when hot from day 1) when i traded it at 33K and I promise I was not nice to it.

I've not seen any testing where Fade or wear at the track has been an issue.

Purchased ours at 28k...local dealer said it was a regular customer that always had it there for regular oil changes and "check ups"...couldn't get name, but it was an elderly gentleman they said...and that we got a good used car.

The 13+ setup is leaps and bounds above the 12 and prior...when I drove a 13 at Milan the stock brakes were as good as my EBC setup.

Never had braking "trouble" other than the days at the dragway...after the day where they completely faded at Milan, they developed a minor vibration.

TRUE,wonder if he still running the original Eagle F1'S on there,think that alone should be a conclusive decider,should be almost worn out.  Z

To the OP what buildate is your car??could be a bad batch of pads for that month period 11/12 because mine were replaced under warranty at 22k but did not look like a piece of well done spare rib,mine had more of a meduim well pigment with signs of the pad material shoing decomposition and deterioration,think this isolated issue might be more common than we all might think.  Z

The build date for my car is March 2012.

No, running some all seasons. Been thinking about getting a dedicated set of winter tires and get some good summer tires after these all seasons run low, but maybe next year or so.

Haha...go to the track

Definitely some operator error here too...

The OP's brake pads look normal for those in the rust belt area. I have had name brand US made pads rust and break up like that within 1-2 years if driven in MI winters but not always.

Used 2013 pp, bough with 35,000, has 47,000 now, front fine rear insides looks like  yours crushed to powder, outsides fine. Replacing with PP rear stock pads and SS lines.

I replaced my rears last year. Rotor looked nearly new like the fronts. I have a certified 2013 PP SHO. The outer pad was low but inner pads on both sides were almost down to the plates and crumbling and burnt. The front rotors n pads were replaced when I bought the car. I got 23,000 out of the PP front pads. They were down to 30%. Cost of cutting rotors vs deal bought as set through THMOTORSPORTS EBC RK rotors and yellowstuff pads (187 shipped) was not worth hassle of cutting stock rotors.
Btw if you liked the PP performance you will love the EBC ROTORS AND YELLOWSTUFF pads. They are about 30% stickier then the PP pads, work well when wet and repeated hard braking had no ill effects. However, I will have to add yellowstuff pads to rear, as the PP pads vs yellowstuff are a mismatch front to rear.
