How much did that cost? Brake sensors aren't covered under warranty are they?

Sorry not sure. I was covered under the free service. They just replaced my sensors and my brake pads for the front and back and now no sound at all. The service advisor told me that after constant driving in stop/go situations, the sensor gets messed up and thinks the pads are thin when they arn't, so they make that embarassing squeling sound.

The only time the sensor gets "messed up" is when it gets in contact with the rotor(when the pad gets worn). During normal stop and go, thunderstorm and lightning, earthquake and tsunami, it just do what it's supposed to do, sense pad wear.
