Brakes make a horrible sound each time applied, sometimes seems I have no brakes. I have had the dealership to check out every 3 months. They say, they look like new and they will always have the bad sound because they can't use asbestos in brakes anymore.

The brakes on my car were squeaking about every other time I braked from the time I got the car, and the dealer could never duplicate the problem, until I had brought my car in for the six time and the brakes were squeaking as I pulled into the shop. The dealer replace my brakes at around about 5000 miles. I informed the dealer that when ever I drove my car and parked it, not only was the brakes still squeeking, but I also would get burning smell coming from the rear left wheel. I took the car back over 5 to 6 times and they still could not smell or dulicate the problem. I contacted daimler Chrysler and inform them of the problems I was having with my brakes and the dealer not being able to find a problem, their suggestion was to take my car to another dealer since it is still under warranty. I was told by this dealer that my brakes were going to squeek, because they had to switch materials, that it road salt, it dirt from the road. I was given so many bogus excuses, that I decided to try another way. I need help. I afraid to drive my car because my brakes has already failed to stop my car once.
