Brakes hanging/dragging?
2013 Platinum. See sig for details. 37,000 miles. 1 owner.
Truck has been basically parked since June. However I take it out for a quick spin every 3 week for 10 miles or so. Currently has storage insurance on it.
When backing out of the garage the brakes are grinding and squealing bad. Also getting feedback through the steering wheel for the first couple miles which leads me to believe it's one or both the front brakes.
Thoughts?
Come Febuary it will become a weekend warrior.

I have the squealing when cold and backing out of the driveway as well. I am also experiencing from vibrating from the brakes when applying the brakes on the freeway. I will be taking the truck to the dealer today to have them fix it.

Given year and mileage, you should still be under factory bumper to bumper warranty and Ford will fix.

Be sure to come back and tell me how things go at the dealership. If you need any help from my neck of the woods, I'll be here.

Ok guys finally had a free afternoon to look at the front brakes. The drivers side rear pad was roached. Rotors appear to be ok.
The passenger side rear also showed some wear but not near as bad. Rotor appeared to be ok as well.
All Slide pins were all functioning properly. Reapplied additional lube and installed new brake pads.
When removing and installing rear brake pads on both sides they were extremely tight coming off and going on. I took a file to the new pads and shaved a little metal off so they would slide in easier. Also replaced all hardware.
I then removed cap from resorvoir compressed caliper pistons and reinstalled caliper. Left truck on jacks and reinstalled resorvoir cap. Had my daughter apply the brakes and release. Damn if the brakes are not still grabbing when I rotate by hand.
Any help would be appreciated. At no point did I attempt to bleed the brakes. No experience with that. Thanks
I'm just over 37,000 miles. So I'm out of warranty.
