Brake Disc Pads Problems of Ford Mustang

Car was taken to Ford dealership for airbag recall and all 4 wheel brake job (12-2017). 7 months after a grinding and pulsation presented itself in the brake pedal under medium to hard braking conditions while driving the car. It felt like the abs was kicking in and caused driver to drastically adjust braking and steering because you thought your brakes were failing and your car was out of control. The car was returned (7-2018). Dealer replaced front pads and machined rotors, but the grinding and pulsation returned. Back to the dealership (8-2018). They machined rotors again, but problem returned. Back to dealership (10-2018). Replaced all pads and rotors. Ok for short time but the grinding returned. Car was parked due to safety concerns. Took to another dealership for a second opinion (9-2019), they verified the complaint. But was told they couldn't find anything. Tires balanced, brake fluid changed, suspension parts tightened but the grinding persisted. The car felt unsafe. Basically, was recommended everything should be scrapped and start over with all new brake parts. I couldn't afford dealership price a second time in 20 months, so did it myself with name brand, nationally recognized parts. All pulsation, grinding, thunking, vibrations and excessive sensitivity to road conditions disappeared. Upon closer inspection, found the oem motorcraft anti-rattle shim had detached from the brake pads and began migrating around the back of the pad. Less than 10k miles and 7 total trips to the Ford dealership and I had to throw all the Ford parts out and fix the problem myself. Original dealership refuses to refund my $1k for the original work. Ford knew pads were defective and still sent customers out the door with faulty brakes. Large safety concern, or an overall scam to defraud consumers for repeated brake repairs-not sure, but it's unacceptable.

Failures in brakes system on Mustang gt 99 to 2004 the brake became freeze after a heavy transit and the car lost the stopping action. Ford inform me that we need to changes the brake oil but we changed oil, pads, line, rotors, etc and the car remain with the problems. In my case I lost the brake action and had a serious accident.

The brakes on my 2006 Ford Mustang locked up twice this winter. The brakes pads and rotors need to be replaced and are dangerous to drive with. The vehicle has less than 25,000 miles on it. The wear on the brakes is unusual and is not something that an owner would be checking at such low mileage. I have heard this happening on several Ford models.

Starting at approx. 50mph I experience a shimmy in the steering wheel, most of the time. From time to time it will not shimmy when I reach the 50mph but as soon as I stop and start again the shimmy returns. I took it back to the dealer and all they did was balance the tires and did not make a difference. So I have had the car aligned, tires/rims force road balanced, new rotors, brake pads,bearings checked and still have the same shimmy. Dealer will not help and I nor anyone else knows what to try next.

Following safety report was filed with Ford motor company on-line: ========================================= the Ford right front inner break pad separated from its metal base and caused damage to the rotor. I was able to identify the break problem when I started hearing a rough metal sound. I had a private technician to remove the break pads and rotor immediately. Then took it and showed it to the Ford dealer swanson Ford in los gatos, California. The dealer was reluctant to accept the fact that the break pad was split apart, he has insistent on it was pad wear. I do not believe the Ford dealer technician, it is visual and very noticeable that the break pad has split apart from its metal base, it was not a wear out down to the metal base. This is unsafe and may cause unnecessary accidents. The same problem may happen to other drivers too. This is why I am insisting on a factory representative to get back to me in a very short time. Due to safety reason I will have no choice to turn all the evidence to the national transportation department if Ford corporation does not come forward to investigate the problem and pay for the additional damages caused due to malfunction of the break pad assembly. I would like you to consider proper immediate action regarding this matter, and I would like a Ford field engineer to look into the matter not a technician or a mechanic from a Ford dealer, specially not anyone from the swanson Ford in los gatos California. Your immediate reply is expected upon receipt of this email. I recommend you contacting my father mr. Nishan urkumyan who is the CO-signer on the car. His email address nishanu@aol. Com and his cell number is 408-859-3896, home number is the same, the car is registered at the same address, to the my father's address 2693 hocking way, san jose, CA 95124. Sincerely, aline urkumyan.

When the vehicle accelerates to a speed of 40mph and applying foot to the brake pedal, the steering wheel begins to vibrate. This happens only when driving 40mph.
