squealing during braking

sure you could bring it up but betcha its just breake dust.

 

Hi Brandon,

I suggest you try washing the front disc brakes with a strong blast of water next time you wash the car. Then drive the car to get the water off, shifting into N before braking to force the friction brakes to work & dry off. See if that helps to eliminate the brake squeal.

If not, wait for the squeal to get to the point that you can demonstrate the noise to your dealer's service advisor, then take the car in.

 

the N thing works wonders!

like patrick said, wash the drum with high pressure, or water hose. But this is what I would do, get your air compressor out and blow the water off, and out of the brake's. Or just drive it, either will work

and yes if this keep's up bring that sucker in pronto, is it the same noise that a normal car would make when pad's are worn? the buzzer type sound that let's you know your stuff is fubar..

 

I bet you don't garage the thing. The morning dew will rust up the wheels pretty good. THis car is unique with the regenerative braking assist so pads & rotors last 3 times longer that a normal car. The brakes hardly ever engage like a regular car hence there will always be a little rust on the rotor unlike a normal car. Look at the rotors after a long run. There rusty! I bet new car owners will have a squeeking issue once in a while because there probably driving real slow and calm everywhere and not blowing the rust off enough. Mine did it at first too. After you have the car a while and are back driving like a maniac like everyone else you'll be burning the rust off real quick.
