On my morning commute I noticed a horrible squeaking noise that was coming from somewhere around me, and then realized that it was most likely a rock in between the rotor and the dust shield since my dad had the same thing happen with his M2 and the squeaking sound from that instance and my car were the same. I pulled off to a gas station to so that I could try and get the rock out of the place it was stuck in but since the type s has 265's in the front I couldn't really get any leverage to bend back the dust shield and get the rock out. I ended up getting it out by turning the wheels full lock in both direction and it magically fell out which was nice. My only concern is the damage that it did to the rotor since the noice it made while it was grinding was pretty bad sounding, and I drove the car like this for around 2-3 miles. I'm not sure if that would be enough damage to need to replace the rotor as I don't think my dad replaced his rotor after he stopped the rock from grinding his rotor, but I also don't know how long my dad drove his car with a rock grinding his rotor. I'm probably just over worrying since it is a new car but I'd rather over worry than not care/ask at all

There is already a thread about this in the Type S section.

I think everything is fine as there is no squeak when I press the brake pedal. Any way to possibly prevent this without trying to avoid running over every pebble on the road (impossible)?

Thank you. Just read a majority of that thread and sounds like everything should be good. Annoying that this is such a common problem though...

Big pain in the Ass!! Also, try stopping, then going in reverse for a bit, sometimes that will dislodge it quickly.

I stopped at a drive-thru and all was perfectly normal but when pulling out - SKREEEEEEEEEE!

The noise was hellacious. Sounded like nails on a chalkboard playing over stadium speakers. Birds darted out of the trees, children were screaming in fear.

Even though I was aware of this problem, I still looked under the car to make sure the exhaust didn’t just drop. A spirited 90 degree turn out of the lot to escape the embarrassment and all has been fine since.

Still haven’t gone back to that drive-thru and I imagine someone out there telling their side of the story… there I was enjoying my lunch when all of a sudden - SKREEEEEEEEEE! I look up and see a new Integra Type S. Wow, what a POS!🤣
