    Most cars eventually need brake work.

    Check that ........... All Cars eventusally need brake work! And all brands occasionally need unscheduled maintenance or repair.

    Brake rotors are warped, very common problem on all makes & models nowdays,
    replace the rotors,might as well put in a set of new Ceramic brake pads and dont forget to lube the caliper mount slides......might as well check the rear brakes while your at it...and don't forget to rotate the tires while ya got the wheels off...

    Disk brakes have cherpers on them to make noise when its time to have them serviced. Its just a metal tab that hits the rotor when the pad is worn down. No big deal. Just time for a brake job.
