My 2003 MDX has been making a squeaking noise while breaking ever since the last time the rotors were turned. After several trips back to the mechanic it still makes the same noise. I can best describe it as a squeak or a creek that goes intermit-idly in rhythm with how fast the car is going when it is being braked.
My regular mechanic (who specialized in Acura and Honda) told me on the last visit to fix the problem that he really was not sure what else to do about the problem(he tried grease and adjusting the pads). He suggested that I wait until Acura released a service bulletin on the problem.
Went to the local Acura dealer today, and they seemed to be stumped also. They suggested that I put on new pads and rotors. This seemed to just be a shot in the dark, and if it does not work I am out $500, although the pads are about 50% gone and the rotors are starting to warp (again!).
Has anyone in the group run into this problem? I would be interested to find out if anyone has any fixes. |

You can change your own rotors and pads for about $200. I would have to guess it is either the rotors or the pads since it is making rhythm based on how fast you drive. If you need new rotors anyway, this might be a good option. |

| I did end up having my mechanic replace the rotors and pads.....it does seem to have fixed the problem. |
