Breaks are squealing, car is fairly new.........

vipergts281:

I suggest you try the Hawk Performance burnishing procedure:

1. Make 6 to 10 stops from approx. 30 to 35 mph, applying moderate pressure.
2. Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approx. 40 to 45 mph.
3. DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
5. After Step 4, your new brake pads are ready to use.

Give it a shot and let us know if this helps (please).

Do they squeal only when you press the brake or do they also make noise when you let off on the brake pedal? Also any idea if it's the front or rear ones?

damn dude... no luck at all

brake dust

Sometimes a piece of material missing from one of the pads can cause a squeal and so can pads that are actually loose in the caliper ... I'd start looking there. Your car is so new I wouldn't even screw with it unless you like to check that type of stuff yourself.

I only have a little over 26k miles on mine and my pads are probably about 50% yet or better. I haven't had mine off the car yet and most of my experience was with GM brakes in the past. Some people use that blue spooge on the back of pads to quiet them (I never have). When I installed pads before I used to make sure they fit really tight in the caliper by bending the metal ears on the pads and then squeeze them into place with channel locks. Loose pads can vibrate and make noise, that's what I was referring to above. You can also check the anti-rattle clips too and make sure they're tight ... if we even have them? Like I said I never had mine apart yet and I'm more familiar with GM. Hope that helps some, good luck.

I would say some small peice of something is stuck and making the noise.....wasnt the case with mine. It was the whole axle.
