Bottom line is they had to replace the rear rotors and pads. I don't know if it was the cause of the problem or the large amount of driving I did with the problem occuring but the rear brake pads were cracked and fell to pieces upon removal. They were extremely glazed over and the rear rotors were a mess. $530.00 Cdn including all our taxes to get it fixed ! At 50,000 km (30,000 miles) I would be talking to Ford customer service about this problem and asking for some consideration as this just doesn't seem right.
The mechanic said his contact at Ford said they have had reports of the brakes not properly/fully releasing. I wonder if this was not the case and I "cooked" the rear pads? He also did a "service" on the front brakes to ensure they were releasing etc...
I seem to have the same issue. With 39,000 kms, (24,000 miles) the rear brakes have a very subtle squeal which disappears when you apply the brakes. If I brake hard the rear rotors feel warped. I have noticed the rear discs seem extremely hot sometimes. It is booked for Monday morning.
