Any ideas what to do if i hear squeaking not only when braking but mostly when braking, and brakes were checked and are not the issue?

Why didn't you ask the person who checked the brakes?
THANK YOU HASHEM!!!

Do you hear it when you gently apply but goes away when you push hard on the pedal?

My front passenger Seat vibrates/rattles when not occupied. Any known fix?
Check all mounting as that is a safety issue.

squeak
That sounds exactly like the wear indicators on the pads. Did they check the thickness left on the pads?

Is it not advisable to purchase a reconditioned wheel off ebay for safety reasons?

As long as they are reputable it should not be an issue.

Need to replace a door handle on a 2018 Hyundai sonota,
Looked up part-car.com and they dont have my color handle.

Anyone know of body shops that are inexpensive around Brooklyn?   

Also need a place to install the door handle.
