My brakes and rotors have been replaced three times within a six-week period. After each replacement, squealing and grinding sounds continued. Each replacement resulted in a upgrade of brake pads to take care of the loudness of the squeals. Replacement was done by the same shop. The squeals and grinding noises occur whenever I push the brakes to stop or put the car in reverse to backup. For the last replacement of brake pads, I was told to drive the car for at least 100 miles and the squeals and grinds would stop. This however never happened. The third time I took my car back to the service shop they replaced the brakes with pro stop. I was told this is the top of the line in brake pads. To this day, I still experience very loud squeals and grinding as if my brakes need to be replaced.
