S650 Brake Noise Inside Car

[YamenGT650]

Hi All,

I had a problem since day 1 in the car, which i recently fixed and wanted to share for benefit of all.

After the car is at normal operating temperature, The brake pedal squeaks, it even happened when the auto cruise control was driving and braking.

I had reported it 3 times to agency and was told technicians checked it and its a normal sound due to auto braking.

Recently I told the agency the sound is not normal and I will raise a legal complaint, they told me what do you want us to replace? I said try the brake booster. They agreed to attempt a resolution.

The noise completely went away, and works like a charm now with zero sound. I hope this helps if someone faces same sound.

Attached the video before its fixed for example of noise.

I cannot hear the squeak in the video, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I had a squeak in my 2019 Ranger just as you pressed the peddle, and it was irritating. I mentioned this to one of the service writers. While Ford didn't have a fix, he did. It turned out the rod from the pedal to the power booster has a rounded tip. A small amount white grease fixed the issue. Whether there was ever a TSB on this, I can't say.

I had this same creaking sound coming from my brake pedal. The dealer replaced the entire brake pedal assembly and that made the creaking go away.

Thanks for sharing. Yes this is a known common brake booster clicking issue, most often on 2024s from what I've seen on forums/Reddit. I saw other Ford vehicle owners post about it too, so it may have been a supplier issue across the board for a while.

I believe Ford was attempting to claim it's just normal, but they clearly made changes to fix it because I have not heard of it as much on 2025s/2026s.

Luckily, my dealer instantly agreed it was a problem when I showed it to them and never attempted to argue it was normal.
