| Description of the problem | Dt*: the contact stated at various speeds, the vehicle's front brakes made a screeching noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined that the front brake pads were worn and installed new pads. The vehicle returned to the dealer 4 months later, because the pads wore out prematurely and had to be replaced. This did not remedy the problem. On the 3rd visit, the dealer replaced the front calipers but the problem persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 2 other occasions for front pad replacement, but the problem persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. |
