The Mercury Mountaineer Brake Rotors are not very different from bicycle wheels, as far as braking function goes. A brake rotor is a round, metal disk, covered by pads made of a combination of steel wool, resin and sometimes even Kevlar. It provides friction against a pair of calipers that squeezes the rotor like a pair of pincers, and it is this friction that actually slows each wheel, bringing the vehicle to a stop.

Even the best brake rotors can wear with age, and can even be damaged. This damage typically occurs when the brake pads are allowed to wear through, causing the metal calipers to bite into the bare metal of the brake rotors.

Sometimes, this can be repaired by having a brake rotor professionally resurfaced - an expensive process requiring the services of a machine shop, in which a microscopically thin layer of the rotor surface is shaved off. Sometimes, however a brake rotor can overheat and warp, or even crack.

This is typically caused by riding the brakes too much while descending a steep grade. It is preferable to shift into a lower gear, allowing the engine's compression to slow the vehicle.
