i brought it in at 730 a.m. told them i think the front brake sensors are rubbing on something.. and the sunroof when the shade was open was kinda loud.. (would you believe the s.a asked me if the noise was when the sunroof itself was open.. ) DUH.. i said no its when the shade is open.(doesnt he see im not blond anymore!) and the sunroof is closed..

anyways they call me round 2.. cars done.. i get it back after they told me that the brake sensors were rubbing on the rotors and they replaced the pads.. so they should be fine now.. and that the sunroof was misaligned and there was a tear in the rubber seal. so they fixed that as well.. as soon as i pull out of the stealership my brakes are squeaking REALLY loud.. louder then before. . my son goes "mom these are louder then the school bus" nice kid he is sometimes.. way to make a girl feel good about her car..

i reversed back to the guy that drove it up and he told me that maybe they need to "bed" in and give it less then a day .. it should go away.. has anyone had this before?? please tell me this annoying whine will stop after a few days or miles or whatever.. its loud.. and embarrassing on a new friggen car to match! its not all the time.. but most.. i only drove it home from the dealer.. thanks in advance all.. Mel

sounds like my last trip to the dealership. hope the problem fixes itself with the suggestions the guys have given you!!

Mel, bed the brakes yourself....

see if that helps...if no....take it back to the stealership...GL mel
Good write up Gene. Thanks for sharing.

Hope it works well, Mel. Keep us posted.

BTW go easy on the boy, he is just funning mom! Maybe just a light smack up beside the head followed by a big hug.

Hey Mel that sucks to here... that happened on my car when i just got it as well, the dealership fixed it though.. they said the brakes were not aligned correctly to the rotor and wasnt rubbing correctly... I hope it all goes well... my dealership fixed it and it all went away i was so happy, that creeping noise makes the car sound cheap =p

Isn't that nice, they fixed the sunroof so you can enjoy the brake whine more loudly!! Ever get the feeling your SA is more of a DS???
