Faulty pads on PP GTs...

[Pony]

My brakes were doing the same thing. Squealing all the time and only on occasion of low speed you hear a grinding noise.

Took it to the dealership and they told me it was normal. Due to rust and moisture. (it's been dry here, so I'm not sure what pipe they were smoking)

Sorry to hear. So what are you going to do? Try a different dealer? Are you a GT PP?

Yes on the Performance Package. Brembo's squeal, and the dealer calls it normal. As some have said here, Racing brakes you get squeal.

As for the grinding at low speeds. I call BS!

Well it can't be moisture because it only happens after I have been driving for a while, usually to work (20 miles). Whatever, I know every issue any mustang has is "normal". Your car burnt to the ground? Oh that's normal...

Here is video of my brake grind

Mine does the same. After the dealer resurfaced the rotors and pads it went away. 2 weeks later and it's back.

Great so they can shorten my rotor life and not fix the problem. I think I will demand they replace them if I still have issues afterward.

Right that's what I'm gonna tell them. I want new pads and rotors if they still squeal/grind. No point in taking some life out of the rotor and pads if the problem persists. :shrug:

my sound is the same. that's not grind. it's more similar to this:

I've noticed that the sound is only around after a long drive, when the rotors are warm/hot.

i have and will not visit the dealer for this.

Yeah thats exactly it. So you have taken it to the dealer? If so, what did they tell you?

 

[Asharus]

ill never visit the dealer for this

i meant to say "i have not and will not visit the dealer for this" in that previous post

 

[Joextee]

Oh ok. Why not?

 

[Asharus]

because they wont be able to resolve it and it will be a waste of my time.

 

[phrenetiK]

some guys don't want free brake pads and rotors

Well Ford is saying the noise is normal. Not sure how loud grinding metal sounds is "normal" but the dealership is not authorized to do anything for me as of today. Wonderful.
