the car hesitates as it switches off so that is what is annoying
My recall was completed August of 2022 and has been a nightmare ever since.
I turn the brake off when I park in the garage.....The reason I do this is I don't drive every day and when I wash it on the driveway the brakes don't dry enough and the pads rust to rotor and then make a loud popping noise as the vehicle moved. This auto brake is a crock of ****T and those that say it's no big deal are lucky they haven't experianced the problem. It's well documented on this site by me and The Currie Ford of Valpo Indiana service manager.
IF FORD did their homework they would had instructed dealers and owners of the option to turn brake off after washing. These jack@sses caused me to visit the dealer at least 15 times over 18 months.
The dealer tried to fix it by installing ceramic pads which caused another problem....the brakes made a grunting noise everytime the vihicle went from drive to reverse or from park to drive which they tried to tell me it was normal....I had to go to another Dealer which entered a Technical Support Request 120171499 the response which I didn't no they had replied said put on lift and try to isolate blah blah blah.
Not knowing this I ordered and paid $570. to have OEM pads and rotors installed and to quote Brandon "Well Son of a B" the noise went away and has been perfect since October 19th. The dealer from what I could tell used the wrong Pads from advanced Auto Parts they were 1MM thicker from what I could tell. I told this to FORD 800 support jack@ss and he replied they have no control over the dealer I said ****-You and hung up.
The 1800 FORD support was no Help thru this whole process.
I asked several times for the Ford Factory rep to look at it.
I was told by the dealer the grunting was normal.
I have a security camera in garage with sound so I was able to show the dealer I overed to share with Ford but they never responded. If you're interested I can send you a link.
