Consumer Description

EXPERIENCE NUMERIOUS INCIDENTS WITH FRONT DISC BRAKES SQUEALING SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO. NORMALLY OCCURS ON FIRST FEW INSTANCES BRAKES ARE APPLIED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. HAVE HAD IT INSPECTED BY DEALER AND INDEPENDENCE BRAKE SHOP (MIDAS). BOTH DEALER AND MIDAS COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED TURNING ROTORS AND REPLACING PADS BUT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS OVER 5000 MILES. MIDAS INFORMED THAT TURNING ROTORS AND REPLACING PADS COULD CORRECT PROBLEM BUT STATED IT WASN'T NECESSARY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THE SITUATION BEING A HAZARD.*AK
