Hi everyone,
Got a small issue with my car.. a week or so ago I noticed it had started to get a bit noisey at low speeds (more of a knocking sound). But more recently it has started squeaking. First, I thought nothing of it, thought that perhaps as I haven't had a car with rear discs before that they stick when the car is left with the handbrake on overnight. Now its happening all the time, at low speeds (between 0-15mph), when braking & not braking. Could it perhaps be suspension related?
On the way home today, I was in heavy traffic and as I braked to slow down, I noticed my front brakes started squealing as well. It's getting a bit unbearable now, I can hear it even with the music set to loud, on 2 or 3.
Is this a common fault, and would it be covered under warranty at all (esp if it is a brake issue)? My car is in it's 3rd year of warranty which expires in June, but I have a 1 yr approved used warranty from Fiat which should expire Feb 2012.
Any help would be appreciated!
