Is it normal for a 2017 Mustang PP to have squealing brakes at 7,500 miles?

When coasting to a stop sign, i apply gradual pressure to the brake (not hard braking) as I get closer to it and this morning I notice that the brakes squeal. Is this normal for the car to do this?

Front brakes are those Brembo brakes and the rear are regular GT brakes.

Yes, high performance brakes make noise. No worries.

My brakes started squealing bad around 5k so I brought it in and they found glazing on all four corners. They replaced all the pads and machined the rotors under warranty.

I don't have the Brembo's like you but I don't think it'll hurt for you to take it in.

Hmmm, conflicting answers. I will take it in just to be safe.

Junk it.

Junking it now. T'was a mistake to go from a 1800s Benz to this piece of crap. Thanks Kevin.

Were the brakes bedded properly to start with?

I always ask this.

BRAND NEW car. That means BRAND NEW brakes. Did you bed them in...?


99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the time, the answer is "no" or "why would I need to do that? It's brand new."


Find an open road. Get up to speed and hit the brakes. HARD. You might be able to clean off the rotors with a few hard stops.

Hmm, probably I have not bedded them properly. I don't hard brake.


Will this fudge up the rotors at all? :shrug:

The Brembos make noise.

Not using them correctly fudges them up even more. Get up to 60 - 70 MPH and literally put your weight into it, but don't come to a full stop. Wash, rinse, repeat a 4 - 6 times. They need to get hot. Again, don't ever come to a full stop though as you don't want to brandish your rotors when the pads are cooking. After your stint, drive off normally and see how it is for the next day or two.

Don't bring the car in though. They're not gonna do anything about it but turn your rotors and I will never ever ever have a set of rotors turned again.

Even after a good bedding, the brembos will start to squeal again after some time. The only way to avoid it is swapping pads as the stock semi-metallics are great for performance but are noisy and dust a lot. For street driving, most people compromise and get different pads. Still great performance, but not as much noise and virtually no dust from carbon ceramics. I got the Powerstop Z23s, they've been great.

Huh, is it easy to swap out the brake pads? My past experience have been F-Body cars and a Tahoe.
