“My brakes began squealing and grinding at approx 12,500 miles, I took in to the dealer and was told I needed a complete front brake job, because the back brakes were not gripping due to build up your back brakes are practically new but need maintenance. After paying $336.00 none of it covered under warranty, 2 weeks later brakes began to grind and squeal again. I was told that it was caused by bad brake pads . 3 weeks have since passed and I am in the process of trying to get back in the dealer because the brakes are again grinding and sqealing. …”
