| Description of the problem | On this date i brought the vehicle to henricks of toyota of apex because when backing slowing with vehicle and touching the brakes it would make noise as if the calipers were loose. The mechanic stated he could not hear anything, so then i asked him to come with me while i drive it. We were on an incline backing and i pushed the brakes and he stated the noise that he couldn't hear, he hears now and stated that the brakes are loose in there and that is normal because it if was tighter in there then it would make squealing noise and that with the moisture that rust can build up in there and cause that noise. I had [xxx] document on my copy of the invoice. I will be calling the nc state attorney generals office, consumer affairs to file a written complaint because it should not be making any noise. There had been another dealer in the area that did not want to back up their bumper to bumper warranty and the attorney general had taken the dealer to court and won a judgment for the customers and they had to pay up!
