So I have had a 2010 mustang for 3 months now... about 3600 miles... but ever since I have owned it the brakes sound like they are scrubbing... I have taken the car to 3 different dealers and gotten 3 different answers...

1 said that they heard nothing while test driving it...

1 said that ford changed the compostion of the break pads so that not to contain asbestos any more and that the new pads have Kevlar in it that makes the pad very hard and causes excess noise, and they have had alot of people complain about that on a lot of different cars

1 said that the type of rotors ford put on creates surface rust extremely quickly and that is what is causing the noise...

First, obviously there is a noise or else I would not have taken it in dumb asses.

And if the rotors are creating surface rust then ok but after you apply breaks the first couple of time it should rub that off, this is nearly every time that it happens. The rotors are not building up surface rust while I'm driving...

So if Ford is having complaints about this new formula of pad then why don't they change to a different formula or have a call back or something?

 

Could be your axle shaft rubbing against the brakes. I have a 2011 GT w/ about 1000 miles on it, and the squeaking became unbearable. The dealer said it was a faulty rear axle, which had to be replaced.

 

not really a squeaking noise more of a dragging a cinder block under my car sound.

 

Are you handy? I would get some brake lube and re-lube all the pad contact points, the caliper piston and the back of the outward facing pad and see what happens.

 

going to paint my calipers this weekend while i have them off ill try some of the brake lube we sell at advance hopefully that will work. Also considered replacing the pads...
