Brakes squealing for awhile when applied. But out of the blue yesterday when I went out to start it again at lunch after driving to work just fine that morning, it had a awful loud scraping noise. I had to drive it home. The noise came and went as I drove...mostly came. Didn't seem to have anything to do with applying brakes. Noise had greatly lessened by the time I drove 8 miles home
Brake shoes/pads worn out. Replace now. Be careful dangerous situation

At that mileage it could be, and most likely is given your description of the noise. I assume it reduces in volume as you slow down. If you can find a quite piece of road drive up to where the noise is apparent and lightly swerve from left to right. (Don't roll the car!! ) If the noise reduces as you swerve left then its the left bearing. If its when you swerve right that the noise reduces its the right bearing. If its both the only way is to jack the rear up and spin the wheels as fast as you can and listen. If there's a hint of a rumble from it, its that bearing or both. It should be completely quite apart from the slight hiss as the shoes rub on the drum.
35K may not seem much but if you don't know the history of the car it could have hit a bad pot hole or even had a knock on a kerb.
I have replaced bearing with a lot less miles than yours.
Cheers John
SOURCE: front brakes make noise when applied after installing new pads.
it could be because they are dirty. also the noise could be the back brakes. if its a squeaking noise it could be that they are dirty or that they are cheep brake pads and for the first couple of weeks they squeak. also when you got your breaks changed did the break shop cut the rotors because that cleans them up and makes the rotors like new.

Look at the drive belts on the alternator and airconditioning to see if on of them is too loose...

check the starter relay & you should always carry a spare anyway

Hey mate, Had exactly the same problem. Suggest you take the car to your local auto transmission repair centre (not holden) and they can check the electrical diagnostics - if it the Transmission inhibitor Switch (as it was on mine - if so should cost you no more than 1 hour labour and about $75 - $95 for the switch.
