I had a squeeky brake problem when the car hit 8,000 miles. Took it to the dealership they said it was normal. It sounded bad, like a mack truck stopping at a red light. So I shrugged it off and said f*ck it, I'll let the brakes get low and then replace them somewhere else. Well over the next few months I noticed that my steering wheel would start to shimmy at 50 MPH. I took it to the dealer and they said that I needed to have the rotors shaved. I got it done and not even 3 weeks after it started all over again. I thought to myself this is insane. So I took it back and they replaced the rotor's at no charge because it was under warranty. 2 months later the same f*cking problem. I took it to Monroe brake and muffler and told the guy my problem and he recommended that I have the rotor's replaced by a brand that they stand by. The drums were shot to so he replaced those as well and put new breaks all the way around. I had to shell out $1500.00 dollars to continue to drive my not even 2 year old car. Needless to say I was not happy.
