He said I don't have brake dampeners [had he been the one that changed the pads there would be some]. What I am experiencing is the pad breaking loose from its seating on the rotor. Or words to that effect.

I have the 2004 2.7
The front pads have a few thousand miles on them

I read that my model year doesn't have dampeners.

What would cause my front brake pad to 'stick' to the rotor? Do I need to investigate further or tend to something?

Did you have to rotors turned when you swapped pads? Technically, you should and that could be the issue - dissimilar pad materials.
