When applying brakes right front wheel grinds. This happens under any kind of braking situation. Brake pads and shoes have been replaced and rotors turned. This helped to correct the problem for about 500 miles, and then problem started over again. This is the fourth time the vehicle will be serviced for the same problem.
Front brake caliper freezes, half of pads is being applied to rotors, resulting in premature wearing of rotors. Please give any further details.
While driving & then applying brakes, would hear a knocking noise. Been to dealership & mechanic replaced calipers. Currently when applying brakes they would stick & make grinding noises when traveling between 30-55mph. Then after a while noise would stop. Taking vehicle back again to dealership to have mechanic check.
