## NHTSA's summary

The customer may report hearing brake noise from front or rear brakes. The customer may describe these noises as a squeal, squeak, grinding, groaning, thumping, or creaking. Brake noise can be attributed to many causes. Brake discs or brake pads are close to or below their wear limit. Aftermarket pads or discs have been installed. There is debris \(such as small stones, grit, road salt, or sand\) between brake disc and brake pad. Discs are covered with rust. Rust can form when the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time.
