problem #1

Oct 232002

PT Cruiser 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,800 miles
Rear brakes on 2001 PT CRUISER w/25000 miles makes grinding noises when coming to a stop as if the pads are worn out. Dealer has checked the brakes multiple times and said they're showing normal wear on the pads. I was told that they've experienced this problem on other cruisers and Dodge neon's and there's nothing they can do.
