Grinding or squealing brakes by model year
What owners say
I am having my brakes replaced for the 6th time since buying the car. Just about every time, it has been the front brakes, requiring new rotors and pads. Since the last time the brakes were replaced, they constantly grind and squeal, making it impossible to know when they wear out. Everyone I have talked with seems surprised by the frequency with which I need new brakes. Since I was out on your website and saw others with similar complaints, I thought I'd add my input.
While turning steering wheel could hear a loud squeak like something was broken under the steering wheel. Consumer felt that could have caused an accident if steering wheel locked up. *ak
Supsension problem/ball joints, vehicle is squeaking due to warped rotors, since purchase. *ak
Right front brake system degraded to almost failure with 2 different sets of brakes. One on 7/2/99 and another in october 1999. Each set of brakes were good for about 1000 miles. After that break-in period, the brakes began to grind away and the rotor assembly was then affected. I am looking for any information of the brake system malfunction that may be due to something other than the brake shoes that were installed.
Brakes are eating up the brake pads and the rotors. Also, there is some knocking noise coming from the vehicle, and when applying the brakes there is a grinding noise.
While driving and making turns wheels would grind.
