Hi, I'm having a few problems that I'll try to explain as best as possible.

I recently took the car in for servicing where the rear brakes were replaced. After getting the car back I am noticing some noises. The first one is when I am coming to a stop (and also when I start accelerating from stopped position), I hear this humming/grinding sound. It isn't a solid constant noise but rather it seems like something is rotating and making contact with something else at a certain point. So as my speed increases the noise is shorter in length but increases in frequency until it eventually goes away when I am fully stopped or when a certain speed is reached. This makes me believe that this has something to do with the brakes or something in the wheel area. What makes it even worse is that it doesn't happen all of the time so when I took it to show the mechanic I couldn't get the noise to occur. I actually haven't heard the noise for the past few days but I am still worried because it seems strange that it would just go away.

The other noise is when I am taking my foot off the brake I hear a squeaking noise. I told the mechanic but he said it's a common problem. I don't really find that acceptable as I didn't hear these noises before, so I am wondering what the reason for this noise is so that I can tell him specifically what to do.

The third problem does not have to do with a noise, but rather my check engine light. The light came on so I took it in and the computer showed P1457 EVAP code, which I think is the control canister. Now, a few days earlier my car got hit in the rear driver's side door, which now has to be replaced. I'm wondering if the accident could be a reason for this error code, and if not, how hard is this canister to replace?

One final problem is that when the car is in idle it shakes and feels like it's going to cut out.

Sorry for the long post. I hope everything is clear.

 

Squeaking while not braking could be the squeaker springs warning you the brake pads are almost worn out. Was brake work done or was it something else?

The fuel tank system must be sealed while driving. Typically an EVAP code occurs because the gas cap is loose. Crash damage cracking the lines from the filler port to the tank would have the same effect. Besides that it is dangerous to have a leak in the fuel system.

 

well, for the squeak rear brake noise thing, im assuming you got semi-metallic brake pads , and they can have "hard" spots on them, and they will squeak, eventually you will wear the hard spot away and the squeaking will stop,

 

rear disc or drum.. if disc you probably have a vibration with some cheap aftermarket brake pads which is normal if you are not using dealer parts.. a little stop squeak on the pads helps.. if its rear drum they might not have been adjusted right.. while driving in a parking lot stop with your E brake only.. if you hear the squeak you know it's in the rear.. if you dont hear a squeak its coming from the front.. take it back and have them readjusted

 

I have had similar experience with my front brakes. I bought the rotors from a parts store and it's been about 2k miles.. and they feel warped. I took it to a shop and the guy told me for some reason Hondas happen to have bad brakes? O.o.. How can I stop this tappin in the pedal? Should I take them off and have them resurfaced or.. should I have them turned to the car?
