Dealer won't even attempt to fix squeaking noise

mechanixhorseman · 02-15-2010, 09:26 PM

I called the service center in my area regarding a squeaking noise that I could only hear driving below ten miles per hour, and the guy basically told me that it probably had to do with the brakes and that BMW would not fix or replace any parts with out some sort of service indicator light being on. Is this the norm?

It's still under factory warranty so I'd like to get it fixed under the warranty before searching for an independent service center that actually cares about their customers, but right now I feel like I'm being screwed.

If its the breaks, they should replace them or the sensor. Take it to another dealer.

it's a normal issue from my research

you're in stop and go traffic for a long period of time and then it starts happening

I did a couple realllly hard breaking (100-0) and then it went away
