jag Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Greetings fellow earthlings I was wondering if any of you have experienced what I can only describe as a Brake rattle, or almost like a metal rubbing on metal sound. It seems to me like it could be those flimsy looking "Brake shields" that sit right behind the rotors. The problem is that it isn't a consitent thing so taking it to the dealer in the hopes that it will be doing it at the time the service guy takes it out is a hit or miss proposition. Any insight ?

ctrcbob Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 What is a "break" rattle? Could you mean a "Brake" rattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jag Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yeah I meant BRAKE rattle. And judging by the multitude of responses so far, it appears my little spelling error has resulted in completely mystifying everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndkeeper Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hmmm, so far I haven't had or heard that problem with my Edge. I've had mine 2 months and have nearly 4000 miles on it. I'd give the dealer a shout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jag Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok, well I took it in for the 10,000km service and had them look at that BRAKE squeal that I was getting. Turned out to be a back plate rubbing against the rotor. They re-adjusted it and now it's smooth as can be. Also, had a problem with the daytime running lights not working. That was traced back to faulty wiring. Easy fix for that, but I was very un-amused by that. Kinda makes me wonder about the rest of the vehicle.
