We got this 07 a few months back. when we test drove it, the brakes were "rough" sounding....BUT it had been sitting for at least a month on the lot, so I figured the discs just had some surface rust on them. The noise did stop within a mile or so, and a few applications of the brakes to clean the rotors.
However the sound returned......After it sat overnight, they would make the same scraping sound till you applied them a few times.
I removed the wheels and the pads. Turns out the pads are NEW....but in the groove on all of them there was brake pad material built up. i had to clean the grooves on all the pads to remove this HARD material. After that, the noise was gone....for about 2 days.
These are NAPA pads.....has anyone else had this problem? Are they just extremely CHEAP pads. and does anyone know if I can take them back to NAPA even though I'm not the ones that purchased them?
