Hahaha... I'm right there. In all the time and money spent on investigating the problem they never thought to replace the pads or maybe pads and discs? Not even the owner, but the company? Something just seems really weird about the story.

 

Seems to me like they DID replace the brakes and tried fixing the problem 5 times... they couldn't figure out what was causing the noise...

 

It didn't mention replacing the system in the story. Assuming that they did, I'm still very shocked that it didn't solve the problem. What I wonder is if the owner was getting what most people would view as "normal" brake noise from semi-metallic pads, but just wasn't happy about it in his very expensive car. The last one I drove squeaked a bit when the brakes were cold (Ceramics, but they squeaked nonetheless) and after a few stops they were better.

 

I don't think the owner ( or his attorney ) just simply say he is not happy with the brake noise and the arbitrator will rule him win ! I believe Lamborghini has a attorney for the case as well, it takes a lot of steps and evidences, the owner need to prove his case ! Again, I don't know all the details, just IMHO !

 

just thought of a new phrase; squeaky brake gets the lemon.

 

the guy just figured a way to rent lambo for free..

kudos to the guy

 

Wonder if it qualifies for the Cash for Clunkers now ?

 

I will pay $4500 for it right now.

 

 

Funny... my mom just had coffee with this guy, and about a week before this article had come out she was telling me about the very scenario. My brother and I both had to laugh, and I said "tell him to lend me the car for a day, I'll make the brakes stop squeaking "
