Complaint Description: my brakes began squealing and grinding at approx 12,500 miles, i took in to the dealer and was told i needed a complete front brake job, because the back brakes were not gripping due to build up "your back brakes are practically new" but need maintenance. after paying $336.00 none of it covered under warranty, 2 weeks later brakes began to grind and squeal again. i was told that it was caused by "bad brake pads". 3 weeks have since passed and i am in the process of trying to get back in the dealer because the brakes are again grinding and sqealing. i was told by a mechanic who answered the phone that "everyone complains about the brakes" . my lease is for 42 months, i hope not to have to be at the dealer for brakes every 2 weeks. i urge you to please investigate this matter and not come to find out later that a major problem exists and my families safety is at risk. thank you. please feel free to contact me. cecilia ortiz .
