When I hit the brake paddle in my ford escape for braking it makes this growling noise. What could be the problem

look at wiring running near break paddle parts, sounds like a raw wire under dash push paddle and look at wires

the central locking works from a pump that mounted in rear side panel
your problem is possibly an air leak so the pump keeps running causing the noise while driving

Probably your front right caliper is siezed, and also the rotor is warped making the clicking noise.

Could be the brake switch, or the solenoid that locks the shifter in park.
Both components would need to be tested for voltage.

You need to have the brakes inspected. This noise is the brake pad wear warning tab hitting the brake rotor.;

The noise is worn out brake pads. Wheel bearings make a roaring noise or growl.

***Seek out professional help this vehicle is not safe to operate.***


Check the vacuum line going to the brake booster.

This is the big round chamber behind the master cylinder.

Hope this tip helps.

sur it is a grind and not like the ABS is going off which could mean a sensor is bad or dirty .more like a pulsating growl

make sure handbrake is off take wheel off hit the drum with a mallet not steel,as it will brake,hit on outter diametter face of drum, try and rotate as you twist off

you need to have your brakes checked on the front and also have them check wheel bearing on that side. when a car sits overnight in humid conditions the brake rotors will rust over lightly, that normally is removed off of rotor after first brake application. it shouldnt do it after you keep driving. abs does make noises though when it is working, sliding, so I would pop my hood and check for abs computer. It has brake lines and electrical connection going to it. Im not saying its bad but just look at its location and see if the sound of it functioning/location seems to make it sound like it is left wheel
