#1 of 3 Brake noise. by 123karl Aug 08, 2009 (8:42 am)
I have 09 Edge with a brake noise. The brake noise happens on the first application of brakes, but is happening more often. The sound is pulsating, and sounds like driving on snow. I feel nothing in the pedal. I have searched online and have found other people with this problem, but no answer to the cause. I plan to take the car in soon, I would like to know what's wrong before I go, so I do not waste my time, when they say, 'unable to duplicate' or 'that is normal'. I like the car, could have a bigger gas tank, I like the Flex, but was to big for our needs and I would have gotten a AWD drive and was concerned about ground clearance which may not have been a problem, Thanks for any info.

Replying to: 123karl (Aug 08, 2009 8:42 am) I took the car in unable to duplicate. The mechanic cleaned the brakes of dust, see if that was the problem. I did learn something here, after the gas pump shuts off you can put another 3 gallons in the tank if you fill the remaining very slowly.

I was able to duplicate the brake noise with the mechanic in the vehicle. The mechanic contacted Ford and they lubbed the brakes pads and did couple of other things including hard braking from 55 mph to 45 mph to wear off the glazing on the rotors. Tomorrow will see if anything they did works, if it does not work they said bring the car back and they would go from there. Had very good service at the Ford dealership so far. One thing on the topping off I mentioned earlier, I put in 4 gallons after the pump shut off and it over flowed, fyi. Another thing, since I took the car to get serviced the electric seat goes back further. One of my complaints was the seat needed to go back a little further, now it does, operator error?
