I purchased the car earlier this year and lately I have been getting into more traffic jams (stop and go). I noticed that in heavy traffic jams when I drive and stop drive and stop for few feet at a time I notice a front brake noise. Thanks in Advance of your assistance. B

Replacing front brake pads and rotors really isn't too hard to do. If you do it yourself, make sure to get lifetime parts so you never have to pay for them again. Here is a guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.
