We have a 2015 WZ Fiesta Ecoboost S with Powershift auto. At 41,000 kms, the front brake pads started making a grinding noise during final retardation to stop at intersections etc. We had the pads replaced by a reputable brakes/steering operation, with Bendix GCT pads, with the discs machined etc. We were concerned that the grinding noise persisted, and the firm replaced the new pads with a different brand. The noise still persists, mostly when the pads have warmed up on a journey of more than 10 minutes or so. I have looked at UK forums, and this seems to be a common problem with small Fords, and one for which nobody there seems to have a definitive solution. Anyone out there with a Fiesta had similar problems with their car, and if so, have you managed to determine a solution that has eliminated the problem?

Maybe your rotors are wearing down and the edge of the rotors are coming into contact with the calipers when applying brakes?

The car has only done 41K since new, and the rotors only required a light skim to clean up for new pads. I don't think that would be the cause, but thanks for your input.

I had a similar noise in my WT, happened when turning. Machining the discs sorted that out.
Yours could be a bit different by the sounds of it..
