2004 Dodge Neon Repair Question
Asked on November 22, 2011
2004 dodge neon squeals when it rains?
Every time it rains, there's an awful squealing coming from the rear, followed by a burning smell. I suspect the rear wheel may be locking then releasing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Check the rear brakes. Check for discoloration of the drums or discs. Check for a shiny, glazed finish on the pads or shoes. If any of these are present, replace the pads/shoes and affected drum/rotor.
If you have rear disc brakes, make sure the dust boots are properly installed on the calipers.
