Some Ford Fiesta owners report experiencing persistent squeaky brake noises despite multiple inspections. These sounds can indicate underlying issues, such as rotational squeaking or chirping that varies with vehicle speed. Some owners find that lubricating the rear shoes where they contact the backing plates or using a different brake pad compound may help eliminate the noise. Additionally, a thorough inspection and cleaning of each wheel and brake component is recommended to address the problem. In some cases, the squeal may be due to brake pad shims that fail to effectively absorb noise and reduce resonance, contributing to the squeaking sound. If the issue continues, exploring these potential causes and solutions may be necessary for effective resolution.
