Odd Noise when breaking - Toyota Yaris Forums

brotan1x · 08-24-2009, 09:52 PM

I receently started hearing this sound. I took it into the dealer (carmax) but they could not find anything wrong with the brakes.

After driving about 35 to 45 minutes on the highway (when its good and warm)and then using the brakes I hear a wierd sound. Its actually sounds like what an 18 wheelers breaks sound like when breaking. Its clearly coming from the front of the car. It in no way sounds like grinding or bad break pads.

I am still under factory warranty.. However I am not sure how to explain it.. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the sound. Might this be an undocumented/unadvertised feature?

THoughts?

Sheesh I feel like a idiot.. I spelled it breaking instead of braking.. What a goof I am.. .Please don't think less of me.
