The car is brand new with hardly any miles. I would drive around to wear down any rust on the rotor by doing more braking then normal.I bought a brand new 2018 with only 1133 miles. Car was wrecked and was a new car replacement policy. I paid a pretty penny for it.
Here’s the problem. When I apply the brakes there is a noise that sounds like if a car sits on the lot it kinda makes a sound of rusty brakes.
They say it usually goes away.
And it is better than it was the first day.
It sounds like a warped rotor because of the crash
He said the car was wrecked. I highly doubt he has any kind of a warranty on it.That's a cracked/broken rotor and it is most definitely NOT normal nor will it go away on it's own.
Take it back and demand new rotors and pads. Have the tie rods/ball joints/wheel bearings checked as well.
The OP said the car was wrecked not the brakes. It sounds like this car has been sitting around most of the time in the last 2 years. Brake rotors do rust if you not drive it every day and have you seen some used cars in car lot that have not been driven for a long time?
I am talking about 240sx and his brakes. He does not have a video unless you are referring to Jayden brakes which he posted 4 years ago?I am familiar with rust on brakes. This is not rust if it sounds like the video that was linked. That sounds exactly like a cracked rotor. The knocking sound is the crack hitting the pads and shearing off friction material. The pads will eventually tear the rotor in half when the crack gets back enough and the wheel will either lock or parts of the rotor, caliper/bracket assembly, or knuckle will be torn loose. I don't have to know the history of the car to tell you what that sound is. I drive through a couple of nearby cities and I hear so many vehicles with really bad brakes that you wouldn't believe it. Bad brakes are everywhere because "the car still stops" so the brakes can't be bad, right? rolls eyes no joke.
Yep, sorry. Old thread.I am talking about 240sx and his brakes. He does not have a video unless you are referring to Jayden brakes which he posted 4 years ago?
