GT brakes squeaking getting bad

[Degen]

Wow my brakes squeaking are getting really bad. Still waiting on Ford to fix my GT brakes. People can hear it through windows at my work.

You're not the only one. I have a fix for this, if you look through my past posts...

Could be mice.

Does anyone have a video of this supposed squealing? Sounds like it was just a little wet...

There are multiple threads on this in the "issues" forum with video. Some are them are astonishingly, unacceptably loud.

some squeal going straight, some squeal with no brakes and turning left at slow speeds

everyone is waiting on ford for the fix

Is this only on the non-pp cars? 1000 miles on my PP and I haven't heard a peep from the brakes.

pp here, squeals when turning left slowly and no brakes are on. it's not obnoxious but it only does it turning left slowly. 1400 miles

Has any one with the squeaking tried to bed the brakes? I know that my track pads squeal like crazy on the street, but once I get them bedded on the track the squealing goes away for a while - until the street diving scrapers the bedding away. Maybe bedding the pads would help.

I am going to role down the window and pay attention to that when I leave work today.

Exactly. Do a 70mph hard stop...and stop babying your performance cars!

Other than a track, where can you possibly do a 70 mph hard stop? Slamming on your brakes on the highway for no reason is frowned upon.

No, no, these squeals people have been having (and I've had once or twice) aren't "need the window open to hear it" loud. They're "completely overwhelm the sound system even when it's maximum volume" loud.

no it's not like that for everyone. I have to be off the throttle, radio off, turning left, off the brake, rolling slowly to hear it.

Then you're not having excessive brake squeal. Although, of course, there shouldn't be any brake squeal if you're not touching the brakes, so I suppose that could technically be considered "excessive," but that's more likely an actual problem with your brake pads being improperly seated or improperly installed.

The videos people have posted show brake squeal loud enough to easily be heard 100 yards away. The couple of times I've had it, it was loud enough to make my teeth rattle -- sounded like subway wheels squealing on the tracks as a subway pulls into the station.
