hmm, have to keep an eye on this one...as far as my Note is concerned i haven't had that issue with the brakes....squeaking every now and then, yes, but long pedal travel...first i've heard of it and the last time i checked the safercar.gov website i only ever saw one complaint posted about the brakes and that complaint was about the brake pedal sinking to the floor after a full stop and not sufficiently keeping the car held in place with your foot on the brake
