Brakes make noise when brakes are apply. Afreind of my has the same kind of car took it back to his dealer medford Ford in medford NJ. They told him there was a silent recall on the brake system ,and on the rear spindels that hold the back brake drums on. The nut that holds brake drum on can back off an drums an wheel assembly can fall off. His car was repair& he told me about the problem,and said all dealers know about this silent recall I have been to two other dealers near my home an neither one knows about the problem they said if it not on recall they will not fix. Was wondering if you heard anything about this problem.
