No warning of brake pads getting low. I took my truck to a mechanic because the front brakes were making a noise. He reported that my brake pads had worn completely away and had damaged the rotors to the point that they had to be replaced. The mechanic said that normally brake pads contained a squeaker device to let you know when the pads are getting low. My Ford factory installed brake pads did not have this.
Brakes fail when depressed, then grab at last second. Dealer performed a brake service consisting of grinding the metallic pads but problem is worse and brakes now groan upon stop.
