I didn't check the depth of the compound on the pads when I inspected them (should have), but the inner pads were by no means gone. Still had a lot of compound on the pads.

The car isn't pulling left or right while braking. There's no difference in the steering feel now that this noise has shown up. My best guess was that it's coming from the front driver side because...

Grinding noise while braking

My car just started making a rhythmic grinding noise while braking firmly. From inside the cabin it sounds like it's coming from the front driver side. The noise definitely is tied to braking. ...

It's BS. The engine has been opened up sitting in the dealership's shop for a month. At this point, who knows what was on the pistons when it was first opened up and what's collected on them since.

The engine in my 86 needs to be replaced. It's sitting at a dealership now, while we argue over whether or not the warranty should cover the work. If there's no way the warranty will cover the...

It is a manual. But, I've never money shifted the car. And I don't bounce it off the rev limiter (which wouldn't be over revving, anyways).

I think they're hoping I just give up.

Should be in the powertrain warranty term *fingers crossed*. Car was delivered 12/30/2013 with 18 miles. There's no indication the car was in service prior to the delivery date.
