Why does my front passanger side brake pad fall off? I have a 2002 ford taurus. we have changed the brake pads (several times), the rotors, and the calipter. While driving the brake pad will fall off leaving me with no brakes. Any suggestions of what is going on. |

Very hard for that to happen, if the whole pad is falling out the you have a broken caliper bracket, visually compare it to the other side and see what is broke.
If you mean the pad is just wearing away fast and is gone then the brake is on all the time.
Your Brake Hose to the Caliper can be bad and is keeping pressure on the brake caliper, hoses can collapse or you have the hose in the wrong configuration and it is putting pressure on the pad when ever you make a turn or apply the brakes or hit a bump.
If you have changed the caliper, you would need to either change the hose and make absolutely sure it is on right and also follow the line back to where it comes from and check for any kink in the line, also see if it has a modulator for each wheel, make sure that is not causing the problem.
