all new brakes (including calipers) for squeek noise

jp196400 · 04-04-2008, 03:51 PM

so I took my 335 back to the dealer 3 times for squeeky brakes (thanks to this forum I had an idea that it was the sensor) my car has 10000 km on it, all 3 times BMW told me that they could not replicate the sound, by now my car sounds like a bus badly in need of a brake job, I took it back the 4th time which would be the last time if they had not found the problem (tired of them not fixing the problem) I got a call from my SA and he said that a quality control rep came down and looked at the car and said to replace all the brakes (pads roters and calipers all around) and he was going to send the old stuff back to BMW in Germany for testing, I am totally happy even with all the problems I have had before my dealer has fixed everything no questions asked, I have heard allot of horror stories from other dealers and I have nothing but good things to say about BMW Toronto.

just thought I'd share my story

Now if I can just get the quality control guy to come and help me deal with the duschebags I have to put up with about my brakes and their broken record reply of "It's perfectly normal" then we would be in business!

goodgood.
If it squeaks again, tell them to deglaze, sand, and chamfer your brake and brake pads. This works. I was one of the people that literally had a nightmare in the dealerships because of this damn problem.

I was lucky with the brakes I guess, but now I have the fuel pump issue to worry about

I have had my car in for brakes 3x.

first time I was told they "could not replicate the noise"

second time everything the same.

Third time they changed the pads and sensor. few days later squeek is back!!!!!!!!!!!!
