went to dealer for sqeeky brakes!!

Hey guys i went to the near by dealership in san diego. and dropped the car off my brakes were sqeeaking so bad while driving.. i told the SA what exactly is wrong with my car. He said we will take care of it. leave it the whole day and get a call and he said we cant fix them because the cars brakes maintainence light wasnt on.. i was soo pissed.. told him im not coming back there and now took my car to another dealer which i should have went to in the first place.. so dont fall in the trap of listenening to them go to a different dealer and your problem should be solved! Has it happened to any members here?

**Problem solved i went to a different dealer and got the rear brakes replaced because of the sensor. so the point of this post was dont let the dealer bs you. go to a different one or go talk to the SA mananger. thanks for everyones help on the matter!***

Yea mine were squeaking really bad so i called up and since it was due for service to replace the filter for the aircon i told them and they said they would take care of it, but when i left the dealer they were still squeaking and they said that they did everything they could which is probably a load of b/s.

Nah not yet i have not had them time but i called other dealers and they said that in the winter that the metal fibers in the brakes tend to be the cause of the squeaking so if it does not go away in the spring/summer ill get it checked out.

BMW brakes squeak alot. It sucks, but is true. Last time I took mine in they claim to have replaced the brake pads. Doubt it. Anyways, which dealerships were these?

2007 BMW 335  [9.00]
SI B 34 08 08
Brakes October 2008
Technical Service

This Service Information bulletin supersedes SI B34 08 08 dated October 2008.

designates changes to this revision

SUBJECT
Brake Squeal from Pad Wear Sensor


MODEL
E90, E91, E92, E93 (3 Series)


SITUATION
Depending on the driving conditions, the occasional brake squeak and/or squeal is normal. The condition listed in this bulletin occurs during all light to moderate brake applications and is caused by contact between the brake pad wear sensor and the brake rotor/disc. This situation can occur on the front or rear axle brakes.

CAUSE
The geometry of the brake wear sensor, combined with individual driving habits, can result in a particular wear pattern which causes a squeaking and/or squealing noise whenever the brakes are applied with light to moderate force.

CORRECTION
In the case of a customer complaint, road test the vehicle to determine the source of the noise. If the noise is coming from the brake system, inspect the brake pad wear sensor of the affected axle. If the sensor is in contact with the rotor/disc, remove the sensor and drive the vehicle.

If the noise is not eliminated, further diagnosis is required to determine the cause of the noise.

If the noise is eliminated, replace the brake pads and wear sensor of the affected axle.

Measure and record the thickness of each of the brake pads which will be replaced. Refer to the Warranty section of this bulletin for important information regarding the correct usage of warranty defect codes based on brake pad thickness.

Refer to the appropriate Repair Instructions:

RA 34 11 000 "Removing and installing/replacing brake linings on both front disc brakes"

RA 34 21 200 "Removing and installing/replacing brake linings on both rear brake discs"

Whenever the brake pads are replaced, the CBS data must be reset accordingly.

PARTS INFORMATION
For the part numbers of brake components, please refer to EPC/ETK. Only replace parts on the affected axle as listed under CORRECTION in this bulletin.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Covered under the terms of the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty or the BMW Maintenance Program.

Please refer to the following defect codes listed below, based on remaining brake pad thickness, to ensure proper coding of the claim.

Claims which are submitted using incorrect coding information will be subject to either a refusal or debit.

Brake pad thickness which measures between 7.5 mm and 3.8 mm should be claimed using the defect code below for the brake pad wear sensor noise .

Defect Code:
34 11 04 39 00
Front brake pad wear sensor unpleasant noises


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD


Defect Code:
34 21 19 39 00
Rear brake pad wear sensor unpleasant noises


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD

Brake pad thickness which measures 3.7 mm or less must be claimed using the following applicable BMW Maintenance Program defect code.

Defect Code:
34 11 00 77 MP
Replacing brake pads, front


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD


Defect Code:
34 21 00 77 MP
Replacing brake pads, rear


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD

Brake pad thickness which measures greater than 7.5 mm will not have a brake pad wear sensor that contacts the brake disc.

If these vehicles have a brake noise complaint, further diagnosis is required to determine the root cause. If diagnosis determines that all the brake components are performing adequately, but the vehicle still exhibits a brake noise which is constant (not intermittent) and reproducible, then the appropriate defect codes to use are listed below.

Defect Code:
34 00 01 39 00
Front axle brakes squeaking


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD


Defect Code:
34 00 11 39 00
Rear axle brakes squeaking


Labor Operation:
Labor Allowance:
Description:

Refer to KSD

If the brake discs require replacement (as outlined to the Repair Manual Instructions), claim with the repair defect codes listed here for applicable warranty repairs or the appropriate BMW Maintenance Program defect code.

Click the link and print out that BMW formatted version. Tell them you think this might apply to your situation. They could always say that they don't hear anything when they test drive it, but atleast you will have BMW documentation of the problem and that if they follow procedure they should be re-imbursed by BMW for performing the warranty work. You would think dealers would want the warranty work in this economy especially when sales of BMW's are appoaching a 50% decline.

FYI - I have the same problem but a good service department is 2 hours round trip, so I am just dealing with it for now. Will eventually take it in with the TSB (technical service bulletin) in hand.

yea i did. i was going to offer to send you the paperwork but i guess someone already posted the tsb. it's a warranty fix and if the dealer isn't fixing it they are basically violating the contract you have with bmw.

It's definitely covered under warranty. I've taken my car in 2 times for this problem. My SA already knew what it was since the issue is not uncommon for our cars.

also, do a search. Its well documented on this board (squeak from brakes at acceleration from a stop or at slow speeds. Most often duplicated when the brakes are warm)

I got a bunch of crap from a local dealer until i bitched up to the GM. Story they told me was factory rep drove it and they fixed it on the third or fourth try.

again, well documented on the boards....
