February 2018

While driving at low speeds there is a loud screeching sound when breaking. The dealership has had the car in for repair 4 times, the current mileage is 10,100. The dealership has not told us what is the issue but the noise remains. I am concerned because I drive with my kids and their friends in the car and we have no information on what is going on with the breaks. We do not know if the car is a safety hazard since they have told us nothing.
