Exclamation fORD ESCAPE BRAKE PROBLEM

I HAVE A 2003 FORD ESCAPE WHICH IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH BRAKESi HAD NEW BRAKE PADS PUT ON IN SEPTEMBER OF 2004, I THEM HAD NEW FRONT ROTORS PUT ON JUST A WEEK AGO, i WAS HAVING A GRINDIND PROBLEM WITH THEM BEFORE I PUT NEW ROTORS ON, BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE GRINDING PROBLEM, NOT ALWAYS, USUALLY BRAKING DOWNHILL. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY AND EVERYONE TELLS ME IT IS FINE BUT I DON'T FEEL THaT IT IS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME. COULD IT JUST BE THE NEW ROTORS BEING "BROKEN IN" OR SHOULD I HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER?
THANK YOU TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP

The rotors from factory are junk and called "soft" and it does wear out faster and I replaced mine from aftermarket from EBG. I replaced both pads and rotors and it seem doing well and less dust now.
