WrenchConnect diagnosis signals
A rock, pebble, or other road debris may be trapped between the brake rotor and the dust shield or brake pad.
The answers suggest the 2015 Honda Civic should be checked by a shop that handles brakes work.
Common failures often come from worn service parts, loose components, leaks, low fluid, or weak electrical connections.
Metal-to-metal contact from worn pads can quickly score and damage the brake rotors, contributing to the scraping and grinding noise.
If the brake pads are worn out, they can gouge the brake rotors. Rust buildup on the edges of the rotors can also cause a grinding sound at low speeds.
