Brakes question
So im having a few issues with my yaris that ive discussed with my dealership service dept already... Most of my things will be dealt with when i take it in on monday but i did have the mechanic guy at the dealership tell me that the "tick tick" noise EVERYTIME i hit the brakes is normal. He said that i have floating disc brakes that trigger some kind of switch when you push them and thats what is making the noise.. My car didnt do this the first week i had it and neither did the one i test drove. He said he would lube everything up for me but that wears away when it rains and it would continue to make the tick tick .... Does everyone elses brakes do that? Im being told that its normal and ive never heard of a brand new car having any kind of normal noises like that

make sure the metal plate that goes behind the rotor is not touching the rotor, it happened to me once and i just pushed the plate back and problem solved!

I don't have any brake noises and i don't believe it's normal. Get a second opinion.

Im scared!! I dont know how to tell the dealership service guy that that is an unacceptable answer that "it's supposed to do that". Its brand new so its under warranty, the technically have to fix it. I dont wanna void my warranty by going to see my normal mechanic dude but on the other hand without even looking at my brakes the people who are supposed to fix my car are telling me the noise is normal.

Well, why don't you go to your dealership, with your mechanic and have him tell your dealer that it is not normal or supposed to do that...
2 cents...

I got 8k on mine and NEVER heard once a single noise coming from any braking. You already got about 6 people give you a second opinion who have not heard this "ticking" sound. Your the CUSTOMER. Suggestion.....speak to your salesperson who sold you the vehicle and explain what has been going on and that you have already spoken to other owners etc. and see what he can do to have them inspected (again!)/repaired/replaced. I don't understand WHY the mechanic would "lube" everything up IF the noise is normal as he claims??? Sounds to me like excuses already (from what your stating). The "floating disc brake" thing I don't understand either. MAYBE he meant floating pads?? If so, not on a new vehicle especially if it was not doing it on a test vehicle and when you drove yours the first week or so. Have some balls and a positive attitude and confront your salesperson and go from there....just keep taking NO for an answer till they give in. Don't forget..You're the Customer! Good luck.

sounds like air in the lines, my 2 cents
brakes make noises (ticks, clicks) when in reverse but thats normal, they are made to self adjust in reverse when you apply the brake, also ABS if it senses the wheel is about to lock up, it will release pressure Autobrake: MAX |

I have no noise either.... as they all said a 2nd or 3rd opinion would be great. I have a kind of metal sound under the car, I tought it was the gas tank cover since its broken but it wasn't. I took it to the dealership and they told the same BS that it was the gas tank cover.... they order it but... the sound is stil there... but I just got them to order a new gas tank cover (warranty) and when it arrives they are gonna have to find the source of the noise and also install my new gas tank cover doble work for them.

Talk to Your salesperson, and also like another person said here, try another Yaris off of the lot/ have someone go with you in yours. All the above is either a suggestion/s or my opinion/s. Again, good luck! sambo42xa Southern, NH
