""My brakes need to be replace under normal wear and tear. After 2 weeks or so, grinding noises would start. The noise would get loud enough that the sensors that detect near obstructions front or rear would alarm. Pads were replaced with new units and this would occur. There was no non-normal wear noted. This was not solved and braking and stopping was never dangerous. I am do for bakes soon and will seek a new solution,""
