I have a 2012 Ford Escape that is a front wheel drive, which recently started to make a grinding sound when braking. The brakes are brand new, less than 10,000km. My brakes used to make a horrible grinding noise and then I replaced the front pads and rotors. The grinding stopped but has started to come back when I brake at slow speeds (under 20km/h), it’s more frequent after extended periods of driving. Everyone is at a loss to the noise. Any ideas?

Welcome to Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair! Have you had them all inspected? A test drive would be ideal. Also, have you had the back brakes examined? Because the issue may be dissrelated to the recent work.– kyle_engineerSep 3, 2019 at 2:51

It’s been inspected by both Ford as well as my personal mechanic. Both said the brakes are perfect. Back brakes are drums and have passed inspections as well.– KaylaSep 3, 2019 at 17:13

Do you notice it more when you're braking in a straight line or turning? Or is it consistent in how it acts?– kyle_engineerSep 3, 2019 at 17:20

It’s more when at slow speeds (ie right before a stop) in a straight line. It worsen after I’ve been driving for extended periods, over an hour.– KaylaSep 3, 2019 at 17:24

But no difference when turning and braking vs straight and braking?– kyle_engineerSep 3, 2019 at 17:38
