I've got over 17,000 on my '05 GT. My brakes have started squealing when I am slowing down. It's really annoying. Took the car to my purchasing dealership 2-3 weeks ago and they didn't hear anything. Took it in to a dealership here at home and they machined the rotors and cleaned the brake pads. The squeal wasn't there until a few blocks after I left the dealership late Friday afternoon.

Anyone else having a squealing problem? It is really quite embarassing to have people stare at your car pulling up at the stop sign -- not because of it being a new Mustang, but because they are staring because of the brakes squealing.

 

Welcome to my hades. Quite the embarassment. It hit from day one on me.

 

My dealer has machined the rotors once and replaced the pads twice. I was starting to get some minor squeal again when I read something on "bedding in" the brakes. I did that Saturday and the minor squeaking has stopped. Do a search for "Bedding in" or Bedding brakes" and you'll find the thread.

Good luck,

Jason

 

I did the same on my first outing in the car, and I've never had any squeaks or squeals at all.

It's something I do with all my cars.

 

I gotta wonder if some of us with the baby mustangs have a buncha lemons. Mine was built in Early October and I just hit 8,000 miles.

 

I'm at 8000 on my car, and its been squealing for some time now.... Gonna bring it to the dealership I bought it from next time I'm in Louisiana.

It is embarrasing when everyone is checking your car out, then you reach a redlight and squeal like a baby! :bang:

 

I got my car in April. amd I am not squealing.

 

yea, but how many miles do you have on it? Ive had mine since January, and at almost 8000 miles.

5500 miles here.

 

3100 miles and my brakes have been embarassing since mile 3! I hate squeeky brakes!

 

2500 miles and squeeking since day 1.

 

Mine have been squeaking lately so i took it to the dealership and they put some sort of lubricant (? i think) and it stopped for a while but once the lube wore off it has started squeaking agian...i will be taking it in the have that and the popping noise looked at as soon as i get out of school! i can't risk not having my car for finals week...2 more days! i should be studing but look what i'm doing!!! :bang:

 

mine did it quietly for the first 1000 miles or so and its stopped since then but i only have 2300 miles on the car and i got it febuary 16th

 

mine was starting so I went through the bedding process - fixed her right up.

 

Just wanted to let everyone know who has the squeeky brake problem and doesn't want to do the Bedding in process, mine got fixed by Ford... I took my car in for the second time for diags on the brakes. Finally they called Ford themselves and they said to replace the rear brake pads. They had a new part # and had to order them. Just got them installed today. Took the long way home so I could test the brakes. So far No squeeking.
