I have had the same issues, I have gone into the dealer 3 times now with no luck. I have 2,000 miles on mine and I still hear it every day comes and goes, usually down steep hills and in parking lots. Slow driving with light brake pressure will cause it to squeal every time.

I'm not quite sure what the brake pad issue is with the new Mustangs, But I do know Ford also had break squeal issues with the S-197's..
The issue was in the brake pad linings in which Ford issued a TSB and corrected the problem by replacing the pads with revised ones that included the new pad linings..
Seems to me from what folks are describing.. As they're experiencing the very same issues with these brake pads, just as the 05+Mustangs had

Kelly ! Have you PM'd Deysha yet ? She's really great resolving these issues.. I would contact her and see what she can do for you, as you should not have to spend your own money on brake pads for a brand new car that's under warranty..

@cptchuck. Brakes are still the same but the dealership has offered to put new rotors on. I know that won't fix it but at least they're trying to do what's right. The Ford rep states that there's nothing else that can be done because Ford was "mandated" to go green with these new brake pads, hence the squealing. Don't know if it's true or not but as soon as I can find someone that manufactures ceramic pads for the 2015s I'm just going to go that route. Hope your dealership is as good as mine has been.

I've been monitoring this site for the last month or so. I finally decided to make an account so I can speak up on this as well.
I took my 15 GT in this morning, at first the service technicians said that there was no squealing, and they couldn't do anything. When they brought the car back up for me, it squealed loud enough, for every one on their sales floor & service area to here. Two of the service advisors came rushing out. They called they tech back, and with a quick test we were able to replicate the issue for them to hear.
As of right now, they are putting new Pads on. But as I've read above, I don't believe that will work. Thought it was best to get it in now before the miles racked up to much.
Note as well. Mine is just the GT not the premium, and I know the brakes are different. But the same issue is happening.
I'll let you guys know how the result turns out with this scenario. Just glad it happened here for the Techs & Advisors to notice.

I've had my 2015 for a month and as similarly stated, slow parking lot speeds and pulling out of driveway every morning to the loudest most embarrassing squeals. The dealership finally replaced pads and resurfaces rotors today. My fingers are crossed as this is the second issue I've had with this car.
