The brakes made a squeaky noise since I brought the vehicle home. I called the dealer and they said it was normal. When I took it to the dealer for the first oil service check up, I again mentioned it and they said it was a normal thing for a TAOS. It has always squeaked like it needs new brakes.

When having to stop more suddenly and apply the brakes more forcefully, the brakes would make a strange grinding/clunking sound. (No, this was not ABS system). Have had other cars that never did this. Sounded like warped rotors/pads. January of this year tried to get new rotors installed from dealer, but never heard back from dealer. Parts for this car are simply non-existent and are unavailable.
