Hi Jason,Mine has a slight low squeal at very low speeds.What could be the cause? It has ~3000 miles on it, so it cant be wear as I don't break hard or ride the brakes. I did do the bedding in process on the truck early due to the sponge like feeling of the brake pedal.
Is it the pad quality that Ford uses that gives early wear? I had a VW with 60K on the original pads and not even close to needing replacement.
Not normal. As a start, since you can see your rotors through the wheel, what do they look like, Nice smooth and shiny? Blueish (heat and needs attention)...Grooved our scored(Something that needs attention). Also, check the brake heat shield if you can for a rubbing condition... I think the heat shield is likely your issue. How handy are you? Pull the wheel that is suspect for a better inspection or have the dealer do this under warranty.
Good luck!
Best,
