Camry :: 2003 - Horrible Brake Squeal?

So my dad has an 03 Camry and the front brakes make way too much noise. It doesn't bother him much but when we switch cars on some days, it bothers the heck out of me.

I searched around on the forums and i couldn't find my exact situation. The front brakes are not even close to being worn and rotors were changed recently as well. The mechanics clean the area to see if it works but it doesn't. The brakes squeal A LOT especially when it is cold. Applying light to medium pressure will trigger the sound.

Say I was to brake from anywhere between 10-30 miles per hour, it would make such a loud squeal. but when I'm cruising and have to break a little heavier than normal, it won't squeal. Sometimes it won't even make a noise when they are warm. Also it would make so much noise moving slowly in heavy traffic, it bothers me so much and it is quite embarrassing.

Touareg :: Horrible Static-like Sound From Audio System

Well, I had my Treg back from the shop for two weeks (which is about my mean time between failures) and about a minute into driving last night listening to a cd a loud, scratchy, static sound starts coming out of the system.

It largely obscured, but did not eliminate the music. I switched to radio and got the same effect--can hear the radio, but barely over the static-like noise.

I will be getting rid of the beast as soon as there is a resolution to my lemon law claim, but I am told by my attorney that will take several more months...so I need to keep fixing my frequent problems.

Touareg :: Horrible Smell Coming Through The Vents Like Old Sneakers Or A Gym Bag

Every time I turn on the a/c I get a horrible smell coming through the vents like old sneakers or a gym bag that has not been cleaned out in some time. I thought it was just because I hadn't run the a/c all winter, but it has been doing it every time I turn the a/c on or off. Have any of you run into this?

Passat (B6) :: Rear Brakes Squeal Only In Reverse

My rear brakes started to squeal at 15k miles, only in reverse. Needless to say, the squealing got worse and now it sounds like metal on metal. It's at 21k now. I was suprised that the brakes would go out that soon, especially the rears first! I called the dealer and they said, "wow, I'm surprised they lasted that long, they usually only last about 15k". What about the rears going out first, "oh, VW's are designed that way, the rears go first, the pad material is really soft".

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Front Brakes Only Squeal When Applying While In Reverse

2006 Sonata V6. Front brakes only squeal when applying them while in reverse. Happens all the time......cold/warm start, cool/hot weather, dry/humid air. Squeal is extremely loud. I have searched and found similar but nothing exactly like this. Pads and rotors are fairly new and I have removed them and reinstalled and regreased twice. I am using ceramic pads and have never used them before. Is this common with them?

Lexus SC430 :: Slight Squeal From Left Rear Brake When In Reverse

I have a slight squeal from the left rear brake when in reverse. Doesn't do it all time and never when roads are wet. I disassembled the caliper and all looks good. I replaced the pads about a year ago and the noise just recently started, so its hard to blame that. I did not use the brake anti-noise lube......but I never have.

Touareg :: Squeal Noise Coming From Steering

We've had a few cold mornings here in NY, especially at the time I leave the house where it's 10-15 degrees. I started the engine on these cold mornings. However, whether I warm her up or not I get a squealing noise from what I believe to be the steering. If I move the steering wheel (the first time it happened I was getting in and shifted the steering wheel), I get a very high pitched squeal. Once I've driven her a few minutes, the squealing disappears. But it doesn't matter how long the car has been running before I drive, I always get the noise on cold mornings. If it's warmer, no noise. This is my first winter with her, so I don't know what's normal and what's not.

Touareg :: 2004 - Excessive Brake Squeal

2004 egg with excessive brake squeal? I have under 5k miles and it's pretty loud. My dealer is covering it, but VW refused to cover it as a warranty item. Even though I love my vehicle, I'm forced to agree with other posters that feel VW isn't ready to be a luxury vehicle provider. I don't think I'd have gotten that response from BMW, Lexus, Accura, or Mercedes.

Touareg :: Squeal When Step On Brakes During Traffic And Release It

When I step on the brakes during traffic & released it to roll the wheels, I hear the brakes squeaking a few rounds & then it will disappear. It sounds like the brake is still engage with the rotor & doesn't fully release until a few roll. This happens more during warmer days.

Touareg :: High Pitched Squeal From Right Front Wheel Well Area

I did a search for this symptom but didn't see anything that sounded right... High pitched squeal from right front wheel well area (sounds like a tea kettle actually).

Starts at 10+mph and is speed variable (faster=louder)... but not effected by applying the brakes (so doesn't seem to be related to the brake assembly)... It doesn't happen all the time... but getting more frequent... annoying...

wheel bearing?
air suspension?

What it could be?

Touareg :: 2005 V8 Making Squeal Noise While Driving That Actually Goes Away When Brakes Applied

Guys, my 2005 V8 is giving me the annoying sign (making a squeal noise while driving that actually goes away when I apply the brakes) that my pads are wearing out. "Just brakes" quote me $89 to change the pads. That sounds too good to be true.

Touareg :: Brakes Squeal Loud Or Just A Slight Squeak At The End Of Braking Process

My Treg has about 3K miles on it right now, and since I picked it up, the brakes have squealed (some times VERY loud, some times just a slight squeak at the end of the braking process). It is currently in the shop for the second time to get a fix for this or an adjustment, and I just got a call from my service advisor telling me there is nothing they can do to quiet the brakes--it is the nature of brakes to squeak and squeal.

I realize that brake dust (and man, there is a lot of that on this vehicle) can make the brakes squeal a bit, but does it even make sense that they would tell me that brakes are supposed to squeal?

I am also having a sticking door handle and a defective ac/heat control issue looked at while the Treg is in (I can illuminate both the "auto" and "econ" buttons at the same time, instead of one switching the other off). Should a vehicle at this price point have noisy brakes?

Touareg :: High Pitched Squeak / Squeal Noise When Stopped With Foot On Brake

Reading thru all the squealing noise posts made me want to ask about mine. I have started to notice a high pitched squeal/squeak that occurs while sitting stopped with your foot on the brake...then let off the brake and take off and get this momentary squeak that doesn't continue (at least I can't hear it). It seems to stop once you get going again.

Seems to be coming from the passenger side front. I think I started noticing this after my most recent tire rotation and balance. What the brake wear indicator sounds like or if I will get an icon on the mfi when the brakes need service. The brakes do not squeal when in use. I currently have 27000 miles.

Touareg :: Reverse Lights A Little Dim

Touareg's reverse lights seem a little dim? I was out in the 'burbs for turkey day and as I was backing out of a driveway to go home this evening I had a tough time with visibility. Granted it was raining a little and I'm used to backing in the city where there is always illumination from street lights, signage, other cars, etc, but it seemed to me that my previous Mercedes had a reverse light that was a lot brighter. And yes, both bulbs were working. to replace the OEM reverse lights with brighter ones?

Touareg :: Clunk When Braking In Reverse?

So I noticed my Treg makes a clunk when I break when backing up. If I hit the gas, then brake, 'clunk'. Sounds like its coming from the rear or undercarriage. Hopefully not serious but its going in for service soon.

Touareg :: T2 Lurches In Reverse When Ease Off The Brake?

When attempting to back slowly the T2 revs the engine to about 1700 and tries to over power my brake. My foot is on the brake not the gas at all. The harder you hold the brake the more the T2 tries to over power it. It cause the truck to lunge when you ease off the brake. The is amplified by any pitch to what you backing up. Any slope makes it worse.
