Our Fiesta just broke 1500 miles and I noticed that one of the front rotors has developed quite the groove in it.

I've attached a picture:

Do you guys think I should take it up with ford? I have a feeling they won't do anything since this is a wear part and isn't technically warrantied.

The semi-metal stock pads are really aggressive and generate a lot of dust for what they are, but that's the worst I have seen by far! Ditch the stock pads and rotor for some ceramic pads and cryo treated rotors!

It looks like you have pick up a stone or something and its jammed in the pad material. I've picked up stones before but they usually dislodge quickly.

It's awfully deep, do you think it's worth pursuing it should I just keep an eye on it?

How do the brakes sound ? if you are worried just pull the caliper and look at the pad and rotor..

I mean they don't sound abnormal to me.

Take it to Fraud.

The problem is finding the front pads. Tirerack only has the rears but noone has front pads available yet.

Not sure they are out yet but I saw STopTech has a BBK coming or out for our cars so maybe they will have pads for the stockers soon ..

I think I'm gonna take it to Ford, to me that seems like abnormal wear, which the bumper to bumper warranty should cover.

Took it to Ford today. They said that it was only .005 inch deep and just looked worse than it was. They also said what ever caused it is gone and it should even out and not cause any problems over the life of the brakes.
