#2 of 11 Re: Squealing noise on hot brakes for 06 TC [nevin_tc] by thomas16 Apr 04, 2007 (8:19 am)
Replying to: nevin_tc (Apr 02, 2007 10:07 am) I have a 2006 TC - and your description matches mine. It didn't start until I had been driving it for a few months. Each time I go in for an oil change I ask them to check the brakes and the reply is the same - no problem. Took one of the mechanics for a ride to hear the noise. I sit in alot of stop and go traffic. I was told by the dealership there is a film that wears off of the brakes after a few months - and that's when the squeal starts. According to the dealership - they are making brakes with a type metal - sorry that I can't remember exact words. So basically I have to live with it. I love the car so I'm learning to ignore the noise - it could be my imagination but lately it's gotten better. I do note this on my oil changes in case something does happen so that I can show that I repeatadly asked them to check.

I just bought my 06 scion tC about 5 hours ago =D And I don't know if its supposed to do this or not, but when I slow down the brakes make this whooshing sound, not anything like a squeak or a grinding at all, just a whoosh, not very loud, i can't hear it unless the radio is completely off, but i was just wondering if that was normal, or if i should have it checked out.

#5 of 11 Break noise by sweetblue22 Oct 16, 2007 (6:27 am)
I have a 2006 scion tc with 16000 miles on it. Lately I've been having brakes noise. Loud and squeaky, it's very annoying, I took it to the dealer and they said it probably needs a cleaning so I pad $40 to have my breakes cleaned. The next day, the brakes still makes noise....The dealer said it's because the brakes are made with some metal in it and eventually with wear the noisewill go away. I'm very upset with this problem. Does anyone else have this problem. ALso, after the dealers took a look at it, I noticed that when I accelerate there is a noise. Anyone else have this problem?

has anyone had trouble with the rotors rusting practically overnight on their scion tc ? and if so, short of wearing off the rust by stopping, whats up with this ?
#8 of 11 Jeep\ wrangler warped roters by mikenu Jan 23, 2008 (11:23 am)
Has any jeep owner had to replace their front rotors at low mileage 10-25000 miles because of them being warped. I have an 06 rubicon with 25000 miles and i have to replace my rotors already. Warranty is only for 1year or 12000 miles on brakes. Called my dealer they won't back it up and chrysler will not either. Anybody else have this problem?
#9 of 11 Bad noise. Rotors? by lisafaz Jan 16, 2009 (3:47 pm)
I'm not sure what it is, but I don't like it. I've decided it's not brakes, because I hear the noise when I take my 07 tC out of gear & coast, too. The noise is:   wom-wom-wom-wom + grindygrindygrind   I'm going in Monday, but if anyone reads this & has any ideas, please let me know.

Replying to: lisafaz (Jan 16, 2009 3:47 pm) Take it back to the dealer and ask if anyone else is having this problem, we have a 2006 Tc and the rear rotors are rubbing on the emergency brake backing plates, cause this loud sound, they seem to be bent out, lm not sure way, but that is the problem, so play dumb and see if they know about this, we took ours apart 5 times trying to figure out what the sound was, and it is something no normal, also check the internet for more information regarding this type of problem-   The Tech Replies to this message: lisafaz (Jan 25, 2009 2:42 pm)

Replying to: johnnyg7 (Jan 25, 2009 2:32 pm) Well, I was less than thrilled. The service guys told me that the noise was from my tires, which they think are cupped. My college roomie spent a few years working at Tire America and taught me about cupped tires years ago. I am also anal retentive about keeping them properly inflated. I think the service guys were wrong. When I asked them why my car suddenly started making those noises in the middle of a road trip, they once again told me it must be my tires. I don't think they even considered my rotors. I plan on taking it up to another dealer soon.
