Asked by Alfred Powl
Every morning when I take my 2013 Toyota Corolla Sports hatch out of my garage there is a squeaking noise coming from the brakes, which is getting louder. The dealer first told me the new brake pads needed settling in, next I was told the rotors might need machining, then the rotors might be pitted. The car has only done 16,000 km. What do I do to get this matter fixed?
Answered by CarsGuide
22 Aug 2014There are a number of things that could be causing the brakes to squeak. The best thing to do is to take the car back to the dealer and insist on having it fixed. It would appear that the dealer has not properly investigated the noise; he seems to have been guessing.
