hi all,
my 2000 elantra has this strange problem after a mechanic tinkered with the brakes a few weeks ago.
when the engine is cold (i just start the car) the brakes screech - they still stop the car. but if i jam the brakes hard once, and then start-stop again it doesnt screech. similarly if i drive a couple of miles and then brake, it stops without any noise whatsoever.
the brake pads arent worn out, so it might be something more complicated. should i get it checked out? i dont drive to work, so not a life-death situation for me.
looking forward to hearing suggestions/similar situations.
