2000 Neon that has had noisy brakes from day 1. You would think that the front brakes would be the culprit but it's the rear shoes. Have taken the drums off twice and cleaned them and they still look new but within a month the irritating noise is back. I'll replace the shoes if that's the problem but what brand should I go with? I'll even replace the drums if that will fix the problem. Anyone have the same problem? Thanks John

Neons are notorious for rear brakes squeaking. Something about moisture...etc..there is a desqueak spray, that can be applied to the shoes after cleaning thoroughly, and the drum..

my left rear started making a hissing noise when i would hit my brakes and a few days later it just started grinding hard then it locked up, the spring and adjuster broke somehow.

I can understand, I have a brand new 2004 Neon SE and the car has been noisy since the 4th day. The car has been in for service this is now the 4th time for the same problem.... even now when you accelerate it makes a loud noise. This car is the pits can you feel me!!!!
