Last year I took the ZTW in for rear brake squeal. This happened everytime just before it came to a complete stop, about the last 15ft. Took it in and the dealer replaced the shoes under warranty. That was good for a bit but now it's doing it again. Looks like Ford has come up with a better fix so I'll be making another appointment soon.
