Hi,
i've recently purchased my Yaris (had it for 2 months), and asof last week got it fully serviced to ensure I keep up to things. When i got it back, everything was fine and dandy until a couple of days later my brakes were extremely spongey and on the way home I heard a grinding noise from my passenger rear wheel when slowing to a stop (only when stopping not whilst slowing mid-speed)
Originally i thought it was a flat; pulled over got out and nothing wrong. Took it back to the mechanic after it continued and he bled the system, told me the front brake pad was rubbing slightly and corrected and I was starting to get a rear wheel bearing issue on the area i mentioned. (this was NOT picked up in my service?) He drove it around and apparently had no issues, but after driving home today from work, and pulled onto my street the noise is back there again and this time not only when i brake and slow down but whenever i'm at a slow speed.
So i'm guessing my bearing is going/gone. How much does it cost to repair this as i've read some posts on the internet and i'm extremely concerned!
If anyone has some thoughts it'd much greatly greatly appreciated. The problem has only just started and wondered how long it would last due to the xmas period too..
