I just came back from the dealer, pad, bearing, caliper, everything is good but still have the resistance, he pump the brake a couple of time, sometime you feel more the resistance and sometime is not that big but still have the resistance. So as THEY can't find the problem, it seems it "doesn't have a problem" so I have to pay for the brake checkout LOL. The "service guy" told me it may be normal they will compare it next time they have a frs in, or the abs cable can be more longer that the left one, wtf lol ?????? My warranty is done in march and in January i'm leaving the country for a couple of month so i need find what happens right now fuck -.-

Like suggested a few posts back, you may consider taking it up on the highway and running it for a few miles, then feeling both front wheel hubs to see if you feel a difference in temperature.. If you don't feel a difference, I'd quit worrying about it. OR, take it to an independent brake shop for an evaluation. humfrz |

Try another dealer. Go in and explain it just the way you did to us. There is nothing wrong with jacking up and inspecting your own vehicle.

yeah I will try with a other dealer tomorrow to know what they can do about this and clearly gonna ask for a refund. When you have a problem and they don't even know what it can be, it should automatically be on warranty.

Did you explain to the tech what you were observing with the front wheel .. ?? Did the tech at the dealership spin the wheel while the car was on the lift .. ?? If so, did he feel any difference in the two front wheels ... ?? I'm suspecting there is a Paul Harvey type "rest of the story" to be told. humfrz |

When I call to take a appointment, I told the service guy that I have a resistance in my right front wheel and it doesn't seems normal to me and I explain him all what I say at the beginning of this post. I told him that i'm pretty sure it was about my caliper or brake because if it was a bearing, I would hear a sound.. First thing he told me is, I may need a brake check and greasing the pad or change it because I was at 34 000km and there a "service checkpoint" at 32 000km but, I already made a brake maintenance like 8000km ago... I ask him to only check my right front wheel because it may not be the brake and he totally refuse by saying the price is the same, I can't just go for one wheel they gonna charge the full price anyway. So I ask him if it wasn't a usual problem, do I will have to pay for that? and he told me NO! So yea, now at the appointment I go with the mechanic guy explain him the problem and checking this out so we lift up the car he check the left and right wheel and he saw the resistance, Unfortunately the resistance was there but not that bad as it be sometime, still, it was there and he saw it. So yeah he put the wheel out and check both caliper, pad , everything... and all was 100% good ! so now we have a resistance but we don't know what cause it, he pump the brake couple time, checking out again, the resistance was more intense a time and the other not that bad. So at the end, the service guy came to check and the mechanic guy explain him that he don't know what cause this so the professional "service guy" tell me that its probably normal and he talk about the ABS cable can be more longer at right?(lol wtf) Looks like its normal to have a wheel who doesn't turn well to him. And he said he will compare the problem next time he haved a frs in the garage. He said too that the resistance was not that much right now to check in detail what cause the problem so I should take a other appointment the day I feel the resistance more intense. So yeah he clearly saw a resistance going on it but basically he want me to fucking wait until something break because he know my warranty will be over. (sorry about my bad writting, not my first language) |

Well, OK.
The suggestion to go to another dealer is a good one. I'm putting my money on a dragging brake pad. Did they check to see if the rotor was warped .. ?? humfrz |

Should he have something for be sure it's not warped? Because he inspected it only like looking at it. The funniest part is, I just look at the bills with the work order detail and in the comment section its say there's a good resistance compare to the left side but the cause is unknow. THANKS you for telling me, i didn't know that!! |

Not quoting myself to be a douche...just too lazy to type it out again. This sounds very much like what my car was doing. What you are experiencing is why I didn't bother going to the dealer. As others have said, you may have better luck with another dealer, but those intermittent problems can be a real bear for them to track down sometimes.

Is that a caliper cover or just paint I see in the pic? If a cover then take it off and see if you still have issues. If paint then make sure you didn't get any on the sliders.
