Brake Problem

On the way home tonight I noticed that as I am coming to a complete stop, that there is a grinding sound coming from the right rear brakes it sound like I have the brakes on and they are rubbing. SHould I get this looked at? If someone could let me know, I will run it up to my dealer first thing tomorrow.

here are some pics:

Looks to me like brakes are worn out and parts are metal to metal by the pics anyway. If you don't know what to look at it surely deserves a look by someone who does! Not necessarily the dealer, unless you want to spend your day there, but some one you trust. It looks like it could be, but not necessarily bad. Pics are not as good as feel.

An 09? Might have thrown a pad(pad seperates from metal plate)!Don't think you'd have enough miles yet to wear em out.

If you trust your dealer go there it is under warranty. 14k the pads should not be wore.

Holy Cow only 14000 miles? Somethings up it usually 2 sets of front to one set of rear. I would take it to the dealer and get them checked out under your warranty for sure.

Just got my baby back from the dealer. They said the rear pads were glazed and ordered a new set for it under warranty. Just gotta wait for them to come in. Wonder why they dont have any in stock, did they change from 08 to 09?

It may be the fact they don't stock them yet since so few are replaced yet.
