Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

what are the signs of bad brakes on a 2013 Ford Mustang?

Five common signs are squealing, grinding, vibration/pulsation, longer stopping distance, and a brake warning light.

Performance-oriented driving in the Denver metro—steep canyon descents and stop-and-go along 6th Avenue—can accelerate wear on a 2013 Ford Mustang. If you notice any of these symptoms, book a prompt inspection to protect rotors and maintain pedal feel. We offer up-front evaluations and OEM-spec parts for consistent braking.

  • Squeal from pad wear indicators or glazing
  • Grinding that indicates pads worn into rotors
  • Steering wheel or pedal vibration when braking
  • Longer stopping distances vs. normal
  • ABS or brake warning light illuminated
should i replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2013 Ford Mustang?

Replace both only if rotor thickness, runout, or condition is below Ford’s minimum specification; otherwise pads may be replaced alone.

Our team measures rotor thickness and inspects for heat spots, cracks, and lip wear on your 2013 Ford Mustang. If rotors are within spec and surfaces are healthy, pads-only service is appropriate. If rotors are underspec or heat-damaged, we’ll recommend pads and rotors together to restore stopping performance.

  • Rotor thickness measurement against minimum spec
  • Runout check to address pulsation
  • Report provided before any work proceeds
are 2013 Ford Mustang brakes covered under warranty at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood?

Brake pads and rotors are wear items and are typically not covered; defects in materials or workmanship may be covered by Ford at a certified facility.

Coverage focuses on manufacturing defects, not normal wear from daily driving in Lakewood and the Greater Denver area. Warranty work generally requires inspection and completion by a certified Ford service center. Bring your 2013 Ford Mustang for a documented evaluation and we’ll assist with warranty guidance.

  • Wear items usually excluded from new-vehicle warranties
  • Defect-related issues may qualify after inspection
  • Service performed by certified Ford technicians
can i drive my 2013 Ford Mustang with worn brakes?

Short trips may be possible if pads are above minimum thickness, but grinding or a warning light means stop driving and schedule service immediately.

Continuing to drive through grinding in the Denver foothills can damage rotors and increase repair costs. If the pedal feels soft or the car pulls when braking, seek an inspection before the next commute. We offer quick checks and same-day options when available.

  • Grinding = metal-to-metal contact risk
  • Soft pedal may indicate hydraulic concern
  • Book a check now: schedule service
