A few weeks ago I noticed the "clicking" noise in the front drivers side wheel area that others have reported on this thread.

According to the previous threads most, if not all, of the people reporting this have found it to be a loose or faulty shaft axel wing nut and washer. Others have found this needs to be tightened or replaced.

I took my car into the dealer and they said the shaft is fine but that the brake pads are loose and should be replaced.

They quoted me $421 to replace the brake pads and $122 to do a brake flush.

What should I do?

It was my understanding brake pads do not need to be touched on the volt for a very, very long time.

Please let me know

Thanks

I think I'd be looking for a second opinion. The whole things sounds a bit dicey, especially when they're suggesting a brake flush.

If the clicking comes back, don't hesitate to have it looked at as if you catch it early, a nut torquing is all that is needed.

The protocol is to replace both nuts. I wouldn't mess with a lesser fix. Hopefully in this case the work will be covered by the warranty.
