Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 DODGE NEON. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED SEVERAL TIMES, THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS WENT BAD WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AMPLE FLUID AND WEAR LEFT ON THE PADS, MY BRAKES MAKE A HORRENDOUS METALLIC SQUEAL WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE AIR. NOT ONLY IS THIS EMBARASSING, BUT HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS NOISE AND THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS OF BRAKES THAT TRULY DO NEED REPLACED. ARE THERE RECALLS ON THIS MODEL OF CAR FOR THIS REASON? I AM READY TO TRADE IT IN AT A LOSS JUST TO BE DONE WITH IT. WESTGATE AUTO IN PLAINFIELD IS NO HELP. I HAVE HAD BETTER SERVICE AT MY NEARBY MIDAS SHOP. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THREE PEOPLE I WORK WITH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NEON, NO MATTER THE YEAR.*AK
