97 Neon's brakes squeak and squeal
My 97 Neon (mileage is 100k) recently made a lot of LOUD squeaks and squeals
whenever I apply the brakes. So, I took it to my dealership to get the brakes serviced. They replaced the brakes and the shoes. The noise went away. But now, after a week of driving, I notice that first thing every morning, the brakes would produce the squeaks and squeals on initial start-up. While the braking noise is not as loud as before the service, it's still an annoying metallic grinding noise. The noise tends to go away after a few minutes of driving. Is this normal? Or should I bring it back to the dealership to get it looked at again? |

I think it is normal and the noise should go away pretty soon. Give it a
couple weeks or so. I just went through this on my Dakota about a year ago and my daughter's 2000 Neon last week. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, take it back and complain.
