This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1) front end shimmies when brakes are applied. 2) creates a potentially unsafe driving condition, especially in snow or rain. 3) replaced brakes, replaced rotors, had rotors turned...still an issue.
Had noticed large amount of brake dust (1/8 in) on mainly front wheels of 2004 Ford Expedition E B-veh had less than 5000 miles- and brakes did not function as I believed should.

My 2004 Ford Expedition is 31 days old and has excessive brake wear, which I consider a safety issue. The brake dust, in less than two thousand miles, is caked on the front wheels and extends the entire length of the running boards on each side. The amount of brake dust covering the wheels and running boards indicates excessive wear of the brake pads. I am greatly concerned that the brakes will fail prematurely. Ford Motor Company does not consider this an issue.
