Ford Focus brakes - Ian Gibson
My Focus has brakes which creak badly when the car stops on a hill and then is inched slowly down the hill with light pressure on the brake pedal. This happens frequently since I travel down a busy steep hill which has traffic control part way down it most days. The noise can also be heard sometimes when getting into the car .
The two local Ford dealers say there is nothing wrong and that lots of cars do it. My son' s doesn't nor does my sister- in -law's or the man to whom I sold my Sierra. Neither have any of the Fords I have owned over the past 35 years.
I wrote to Mr McAllister the MD of Ford but of course have just been referred through the usual Customer relations circuit again. Has anyone else had this irritating problem?

Mine only squeek a little when cold, now that they are about half-worn.

Ian,
I must agree that this has happened on several cars which I have driven but I have never thought of it as being unusual.

I'd agree. Seems to come and go though.
