Squealing sound when braking?

[Ender]

I've started realizing my Ecoboost PP brakes squeeling when going at low speeds and turning left. It's really embarrassing, especially at a drive-thru or something.

Hope to hear some solutions for this problem soon!

I totally understand how you feel. It's kinda gotten to the point that I'll put it in reverse (MT) to avoid coming to a complete stop with my brakes. I'm talking very low speed so it won't mess anything up. Silly I know but that squeal is TERRIBLE!

I find that using the emergency brake works the best for me. Too scared to use my actual brakes at low speeds and wake up all my neighbors. :shrug:

I hear you (see what I did there) about the neighbors. Since it's 5:30 in the morning when I leave for work, I can easily see whether headlights are approaching my driveway (which is never thus far); so I am able to just roll out without bothering to brake. The squeal has just gotten too loud. The neighbor's cat had better scoot, though, or he will be flattened.

My Ford case manager called again yesterday, which surprised me since we just spoke. He said "Ford engineer blah blah blah your dealership blah blah blah 1 to 2 weeks". I think we are getting a smidge closer to a solution, because at least the phrase '1 week' was in the spiel this time.

Bringing the car in for 7:30 am today on my weekend off. Hope this gets resolved! Will let you guys know what happens.

nothing will happen unless ford has the solution lol

I figure I have to try since I'm not sure 100% if they will do anything. I mentioned the bar code sticker on the front calipers being a possible cause. Hope they might remove it if present.

I hope you're not wasting your weekend off. :(
There is nothing they can do yet except change the pads and/or blow smoke.

Update*

So they are replacing the brake pads. They said there was no sticker on the rotors to cause the issue and the front pads were squealing just as I said.

I asked for the part number since I wanted to know what's going in and they printed it out for me. Hoping these are the same quality as stock. Anyone have a parts list for the 2015 GT ? (Non premium package).

*Update* They told me they will be the same as the original but I worry about these things so here's the part as searched for via the part number

Hopefully this fixes the issue.

The funny thing is that the lady who checked me in right away tried to say the sound was normal as its a preformance brake but when I said it sounded like the squeal of a garbage truck, not exaggerating, they signed me in right away.

Once they repro'd the issue I was told they definetly think its brake pads and they've seen 3 2015s for this issue. From what I read here though, it could be more than that. Guess we'll see.

So got fitted with the new pads which meant they had to slightly machine the rotors to fit. So far so good, took the car for a spin on some hilly terrain and it handled well...didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Will post update if the sound does or doesn't come back, I don't think i've gone more than a few days driving it without hearing the sound since the first couple of days I got the car.

Have 2400 miles on my GT Premium, only had the squealing brake problem 3 times including last night. This morning notice a small oil stain right behind the front wheel, and a small oil stain right behind the rear wheel both only on the passenger side.
Upon further inspection, notice a oily film underneath the black coaming behind the front wheel, and an oily film on the rear wheel, rear quarter panel on the bottom and underneath the black coaming on the rear passenger side quarter panel. Looked underneath the car the best I could, and found no obvious leak. Also check my brake fluid, level good. Oily film is light, like a hydraulic fluid, maybe a leaking seal?? If these observations have been mentioned before, sorry. Bringing my car in tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
