| Description of the problem | Brakes would squeal and screech while driving and would stop when the brakes were applied. The front rotor was red hot and smoking. I later had the same problem with the rear brakes and they had to replace the rotors pads and calipers. This appeared again after 15,000 miles and they said it was normal and wanted to charge me for repair. |
