Our vehicle has multiple issues with it's brakes since we purchased the vehicle in December of 2021. Initially, when we would use our brakes while in reverse, the brakes would make a groaning sound (this started around January of 2022). We assumed it had something to do with the recall announced about the brakes of the vehicle and waited for parts to become available to get the brakes fixed. We finally got our brakes replaced once parts became available, but this did not fix the rear brake sound. The dealership replaced the rear brakes and the noise stopped. We brought the vehicle home and the front brakes began to squeal when using them while in drive. We called the dealership and let them know and they said to bring it back in. We brought the vehicle in, they replaced the front brakes and by the time we got home, the brakes were squealing again. We called the dealership, they had us bring the vehicle in again to inspect it, and confirmed they heard the squealing but they would not be performing a service until they confirmed with Ford if they should replace the rotors. Two weeks later, we get the call to bring back the vehicle to replace the rotors. We bring it in, get rotors replaced and brought the vehicle home. After 4 days, our vehicle began to make the same squeal sound on our brakes while in drive, and make some sort of groaning sound when we came to a complete stop. Ford employees seem to not be able to fix this issue and seem frustrated with us that we keep calling and asking for help.

The vehicle seems to have long stopping distances and I experienced shaking at highway speed. Also, when I back up, there is a very loud moaning noise, like a -??ship horn-??. This noise occurred several times from when I first bought the new vehicle and each time I took it to the dealer, they said they couldn-??t duplicate the problem. That was over 4 times now that the dealer denied there was a problem. I then made a video of the noise to prove it to the dealer. They agreed there was a TSB for caliper pins and bushings, so they did that work. Before I left the dealer service department, the problem happened again to the Service Advisor, so they have the car now waiting for Ford to investigate. Online Ford Bronco forums also show a defect in the -??coefficient of friction-?? for the brake pads, but both Ford and the dealer currently are saying that-??s a wear item and they won-??t fix it under the warranty (my car has 30k mikes now but this problem occurred first when I only had the car for a few months). As part of the TSB service on 12/15/2022, they said my front original brake pads are like new but the back ones are due to be replaced. They acknowledged that the rear pads usually last twice as long as the front, but my vehicle is opposite that. I think they should put new brakes and new rotors on the vehicle under warranty, especially in back since those rear pads only should not be worn out at 30k miles while the front are like new. Clearly, there is a problem with the rear brakes (primarily, ) but maybe in the overall balance of the braking system, resulting in premature wear of the back pads, longer stopping distances, and that awful noise when I back up.

Every morning or when it-??s raining out the breaks make a horrible loud grinding noise on when hitting the breaks as you back up. My concern is that these breaks are oxidizing super quickly as this started happening only after a few months of owning my new car. I have had many cars and mostly used cars and never have I heard this horrible noise when breaking while backing up. I feel like these are going to degrade severely quickly.

- Plano, TX, USA

I had my vehicle taken to address its recall on the breaks. Within a few weeks time, my vehicle began creating excessive break dust on the front breaks and began making a grinding sound when backing up. I had my vehicle brought back into the dealership to have those items looked at and staff brushed this all off as being normal. However, the breaks never behaved this way before the "recall fix" and I'm concerned that all of these issues may point to a bigger issue. Did I buy a lemon or is this truly normal?

Traveling with cruise control set at 78mph. Service engine light came on without warning and vehicle couldn-??t maintain speed. Exited highway to determine what was wrong. Pulled into gas station parking lot and the power brakes failed. The vehicle had two recalls for brakes serviced on 7/7/22. The vehicle is being towed to a dealership as the vehicle had less than 12,400 miles and has been owned less than one year. Any/all components available for inspection. If driver had not had wherewithal to exit highway when they did, there certainly could have been a fatality incident.

When coming to a stop and pressing on the breaks it periodically will make s sound and then there is about a 2O SEC DELAY before coming to complete stop. If I am driving downhill the delay is longer. This scares my since I drive over 100 miles a day for work. I have reached out to FORD and the manufacture and they still do not have a fix to the issue.

- Wailuku, HI, USA

I have a brake recall related to a safety defect. The car does not stop quick enough at highways speeds, however ford has not offered a remedy in a timely manner. I have been to 4 different Ford dealerships with no success. All four have informed me it would take a week to get the part, to later change the answer and say its unavailable on backorder. I can't get my brakes repaired. Additionally, the back door does not lock under any circumstances. The car is unsafe and unsecure from the inside and out.

I had two recalls which one of them was my breaks. I went about 3 months ago and they told me they didn't have the part and they would place the order and I would get a call as soon as it arrived. I waited and a new recall came in saying there was a leak in the engine oil and it could cause a fire on my car. I called Ford after I made an appointment online, when I spoke to the lady she said she had no idea and all she could do was made me an appointment. I decided to drive myself in person to this dealer Big Valley Ford and let them know what was happening since my app and my car both said I had I HAS 0% OIL LIFE and i needed oil changed ASAP. according to my sticker on the window from the previous oil changed it said I had over 1000 miles before oil change, yet my car and app were telling me i had 0% oil life. When i went to them specially after knowing there was a recall for oil leak they took my car and said they would inspected, they called me again and said there was nothing wrong with it and to ignored it, I never got a paper or anything with such information. I asked about the other recall and if my parts were finally in and the guy said there is no record or order for that. He sent me to speak to someone else and when I did they lied to me saying my car parts had been order. When I left a lady call me saying she needed pictures of my car to be able to order them and I told her someone had already said they were order that morning and she said no orders were never place. I drive back to them again and I live 20 minutes away, If i didn't show up in person again they would had never had made the order I had been waiting for over 3 months. As of today I do not longer feel safe with this car and I don't want it, yet I dont know what to do to solve this I need help please!!

Loud screeching noise when backing up, seems to be harder to stop when applying brakes when needed to make a quick stop, been to dealer and he told me that the noise was normal! And couldn-??t duplicate the reduced braking issue!
