I didn't say you were being an ass... I drive a highly modded M3. I do racing events regularly and have owned more than 20 cars. Never seen anything like this. So yea it may not be the car but that doesn't mean the brakes are weak for this car and it's power.
But again she has never ruins the brakes in any other car so I don't think it's her. No clue what can be going on. It's not that easy to warp the brakes. And I don't know the first time if it was all four but they replaced them all.
Is check for something sticking then. Of course the dealer should do this but it seems like they donno what they're doing.
With the engine running back up to a wall at night. Hold the brake and let off. Do the brake lights go out when you let off the pedal?
Jack up all 4 wheels. Have someone sit in the car and hold the brake. Can you spin the wheel when they let off the brake? Keep in mind it's AWD so you'll be spinning the drivetrain (I don't believe these cars have a limited slip but I'd use N anyways)
If you still haven't found the problem, y'all need to work out a way for her to tell you when she's braking. And not braking. Cell phone? Now drive behind her and watch the brake lights. Are they coming on or staying on when they shouldn't be?
If it passes all those then idk. Gonna have to go to ford. But that should test the pedal returning, master cylinder/abs for sticking, and check that traction control/adaptive cruise control aren't coming on unnessararly.
