3 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1995

Front brakes failed twice, causing accident.

4 Brake Disc problem

My brakes squeek all the time. I've had the brakes cleaned to remove access dust and build up. . And also had the front brake pads changed. This has all happened within the last 4 months. I also notice all my realives/friends experiance exactly the same type of squeeking that my car suffers from. If there hasn't been a recall, this should be considered. I don't know how dangerous this is, but it is at the very least, annoying and very very noticable. It happens in all types of weather conditions. Wet/dry, cold/warm etc etc. Any feedback you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Rich martin.
