“My brakes constantly squeaks. This has been an on-going problem for the last several months. The manufacturer had a factory person come check my brakes last month on 12/12/02 and didn't detect a problem. My brakes are squeaking and I feel there is a problem. I had their loaner same model and different year-the brakes didn't squeak at all. I would like to get to the bottom of this problem. Can this be a possible defect or malfunction. Is it safe my car to squeak constantly whenever I step on the brakes in any kind of weather.”
