  1. We are just over 500 miles. Still some pulsating. Will continue to keep an eye on it and hopefully another 500 will resolve totally. Thanks for your input.
  2. Brought our MKX in to have the brakes looked at. I let them know I was not a big fan of them turning the rotors at 250 miles. After the mechanic looked them over, he suggested that we keep riding on them and felt confident that they would start responding as normal. As mentioned above they have gotten a lot better since earlier in the week. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
  3. We purchased an MKX, but did test drive a Limited Edge. Evidently this particular Edge was on the lot for a long time, and parked on an incline. When the sales person drove it up to us, I heard a loud ticking noise and opened the hood. The sales person said that the oil was just down in the pan due to the angle that the car was sitting. After it warmed up, it went away.
  4. Nacraman, How many miles do you have on your edge? What would be the concern of the dealer turning the rotors?
  5. I'll be bringing it in on Saturday to have them look at the brakes. There is still some pulsating when braking at higher speeds, but there is still a slight grinding sound when going a couple miles an hour and braking. Something is going on with the rotors is my guess. Will know more on Saturday. We'll keep you posted. P.S. - other than that, we love our MKX!
  6. I'll keep an eye on it. Took it out this evening and it seems to be a little bit better. It is definitely only while braking, and felt in the steering wheel. Thanks for the feedback.
  7. We picked up our 2008 MKX the other day. Love the car. During test drive, the brakes made a grind noise at low speeds. The sales person said that it was due to rust forming on the rotors while it had sat on the lot. That noise has gone, but today noticed a pulsating feel in the steering wheel while applying brakes at 30+ miles an hour. Have just over 100 miles on it now. My guess is that it is the rust still wearing down and the rotors not being completely clean. Any one have any thoughts on this?
