Sporadically comes on. I just knew it couldn't be the front pads because they were put on there new 27,000 miles ago. I looked through the wheels at the calipers and sure enough, the 'squealer' is about 1/16" away from the rotor. I guess it'll be Wagner quiet stops this next time. The pads were installed by the dealer who sold it to us in Houston. | ||

Reports are that in isolated cases the line has worn through causing a loss of brake fluid. The fix is simple and free, they add some clips to keep it up and away from any vibration. 2000-2002. | ||
