2001 dodge stratus Brakes?

Question

i got new semi matalic brakes 2 months ago and they still squeak when i stop. but they only squeak when the car has had some time to heat up. whats going on

Answer 1

all cheap aftermarket brake pads will squeek. you have to get ceramic pads or very high quality ones, or get pads from a dealer. the dealer has value line pads for your car with a lifetime warranty. they are high quality like the originals. they are what is used at all dealers if you have the brakes done there. prices will vary a little bit, but we sell them for 45.95 where i work, and if you keep your receipt, when you wear them out you just bring them in and get a free set.

Answer 2

The idle is basically too extreme and the brake problem is a available vacuum leak. The booster is positioned lower than the hood on the hearth wall immediately in the front of motive force. this is a huge round merchandise with a touch large hose ensuing in the intake manifold. The hose is the position it receives this is vacuum and may be leaking. The booster could no longer be defective although this is always a threat.

Answer 3

Semi-metallics will squeal more than cermaics.

Have the area around the brakes cleaned.

They should have applied some anti-squeal gel on the back of the pads before installing them to minimize the squealing noise.

Take it back to the shop that you had the brakes done and complain about the noise.

Answer 4

Check the rotors, or have the pads changed again, most aftermarket pads squeak, unless they are the OEM pads, or high performance pads you are gonna get a squeak

Answer 5

did you turn the rotors when you had them put on ,because if not they will squeak like that,and the cheaper pads will do it sometimes even if you do turn the rotors,you might try having the rotors re-surfaced and see if they will re-seat them self,sometimes that will stop them from squeaking like that,its worth a try though,and usually works,good luck with it.
