Drop it off where on 12-12? And if this is Ford's policy that is pretty poor.not everyone has a garage.and almost 1700 dollars for brakes is also ridiculous. My 2010 ram has the original rear brakes at 40,000 Miles. If the mavericks are wearing out at 15 k something is not right.
That's an assumption of ones driving methods and these brakes are known to have issues. Yours clearly don't (yet?) so congratulations, but I don't know how you can safely come to the conclusion someone is driving to fast and shopping too short (braking hard?) at all. There are more than a few reports of brake pad/rotor issues across the platforms the Maverick shares.
I have never replaced a rotor over the years and have put new pads on grooved rotors without a problem. Ford is working on solutions to improve braking probs. https://www.uwindsor.ca/dailynews/2022-09-01/researcher-teams-ford-build-better-brake-rotor
People who race don't then complain about unexpectedly short brake life. They expect it.. . .
Also, some peoples idea of adventure - is racing!
Replacing pads is a 20 minute job per wheel, with the pads costing about $25 per wheel. The Ford environmentally-friendly pads are hygroscopic and grab when cold in high humidity or rain, so you may want to use aftermarket parts instead. Nobody resurface rotors anymore, as replacements are cheaper. If the rotor needs replacing, that's another $55 and 25 minutes, allowing for the extra time to grease and install the new bearings. Better rotors go for about 50% more from aftermarket. Call it anywhere from $300 to $800 for the total job cost including waterproof grease, new cotter pins, etc, depending on what needs replacing and whether you want to use the better non-Ford parts. If they are just charging you $800 up front, find a more honest dealer.
Your showing your age. Bearing and repacking of bearings (grease) isn't done on new cars. No cotter pins. But it brought back memories of old car brakes. Like my 1976 Pontiac Trans am. Yep repack wheal bearings install new cotter pins.
Mee too, if it stops smooth before the new pads it only gets pads.

I did, that's why I posted what I did, y'all "Hot Doggies" blow past me like I'm chained to the lamp post but when I coast into the traffic light just as it's turned green there you are in front of me, yeah you got there first but I'll see you at the next light same thing I'm not mashing the brakes, just using engine braking and recharging the battery, yes your driving habits SUCK!
