There is an extremely loud grinding noise that keeps coming from my brakes. I was pulling up to a mailbox and I was on my cellphone and someone asked me what that noise was as it was so loud they could hear it! I brought it to the dealership and they said there was a little bit of rust on the rotor!! I just had the 7500 mile check up and got all green checks but 10 days later the grinding is even louder than before. I dread even putting on my brakes and I am not confident if people jump out in front of me that they will respond properly. I purchased this car brand new and went on to carcomplaints.com and there are a lot of people saying the same things with as low as 20 miles on the car. Something is definitely wrong here. This is my fifth brand new car in the last ten years so I know this is not something that should be going on.

Had been hearing a grinding noise when braking especially when it would rain out and on the advice made an appt to take it to the dealer. On the way to the dealer the brakes gave out and my car hit into my husbands car that was driving in front of me to the dealer so he could drive me home. At first they said there was nothing wrong withthe brakes I insisted they keep it overnight and theysaid they would drive it when the car was cold. Thankfully it rained hard that night and even though they waited til the afternoon to drive it they were still able to hear the grinding although not nearly as loud as it would have been if they drove it in the morning. They said the rotors were building up corrosion so they would replace the brake pads. After researching this it seems to be a pretty common problem I intend to insist tomorrow they change the rotors too but the fact still remains that there is now extensive damage to the front end of my car. This is a new car and this should not be happening just 2 days prior my husband lost the brakes for a few seconds this is a potentially very hazardous situation.
