Rear brakes had an extreme noise coming from them. Upon examination I found it to be a loosing of the rear wheel bearing nuts, causing the drum to rub the brake pads. I tightened the nuts as until I replace the brakes.
Rear brake drums squeeking when brakes are applied. Three dealer trips-finally fixed. Also water on front passenger's floor from airconditioning. Dealer found a missing elbow part. Fixed. . . I should have bought a civic.
