mastereh Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I have a 2013 Ford Edge SEL FWD with approx. 32000km. I noticed last weekend when driving my rear passenger side brake was suddenly making a crunching sound when coming to a stop. I managed to get home and noticed that the entire area was super hot. You could feel immense heat coming from the wheel well. I called my dealership and have an appointment scheduled for this evening but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this before? I drove the vehicle for the first time today since the brake event occurred and didn't feel the same sounds; but now when driving I hear a slight squeaking sound coming from that same area of the vehicle.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sounds like a stuck caliper to me, you should've felt some drag, unless it just happened. Caliper servicing and/or replacement should fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastereh Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Honestly didn't feel like much drag but I rarely drive the vehicle; it's more my wife driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Most likely a stuck caliper if one wheel is hotter than the other. Could be intermittent. Might just need to grease the slide pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
