in wet weather areas brake pads and rotors will build up rust overnight or even in a few hours due to metallic pads (asbestos has been banned a long time you can blame the government not ford for this one) this rust can be enough to cause the pad and rotor to touch when the pedal is not applied but should stop after a few times. calipers that do not fully release and stuck caliper pins and slides can cause this also. are you sure the noise is from the brakes? did you road test with a technician while the noise was occuring? usually this type of noise would be a high pitch repetitive squeak or squeal more noticeable at lower speeds but it is not all that loud.
Good questions. Yes, the noise is definitely from the brakes. I’ve had the car road tested several times by technicians, who agree that the noise is coming from the pads riding on the rotors. It’s more noticable at lower speeds, between 10 and 40 mph, but I’ve had occasions where I’ve heard it even at 60 mph.
The frustrating part is that no one can say that the noise can be corrected, even by replacing the pads. They expect the problem to reoccur after about 10,000 miles. If anyone has a recommendation, I’d really appreciate hearing it. This problem is pretty severe for SHOs.
Thanks,
Bill

Try a product called BG anti Squeal . It is available at some car dealers and is applied to new brake pads and allowed to sit before installation. It is a chemical that soaks into the material and helps the pad to absorb harmonic noises. This is not snake oil. It is guaranteed to work . I work at a Ford dealer and have used it for many years and turned alot of unhappy people into believers. If you cannot find it call 1800 we-are-bg or me at 716-893-1000 and I’ll send you some. Not expensive.

in wet weather areas brake pads and rotors will build up rust overnight or
even in a few hours due to metallic pads (asbestos has been banned a long
time you can blame the government not ford for this one) this rust can be
enough to cause the pad and rotor to touch when the pedal is not applied but
should stop after a few times. calipers that do not fully release and stuck
caliper pins and slides can cause this also. are you sure the noise is from
the brakes? did you road test with a technician while the noise was
occuring? usually this type of noise would be a high pitch repetitive squeak
or squeal more noticeable at lower speeds but it is not all that loud.
