ok the brakes sqeel like a mofo at every stop..the car has 13000 miles on it and im pretty sure the dealership would not do anything for me...so WTF is the deal...are they just glazed over..or are they already effed up?
I had new pads, rotors, and calipers put on less than 2000 miles ago. They squeal all the time. Once in a while I'll hit the brakes hard and they'll stop for a while, but it comes back eventually. Someone even told me they were designed to do that. Haha, I was like, "Designed to squeak? Riiiight." :rolleyes:
Sorry I can be of any help, but it just seems to be something we have to live with.
It's our metallic brake pads. They'll always squeal somewhat. You can get ceramic pads or some other non metal pad, but they won't last as long. Sometimes I'll spray some wd-40 on the rotors and brake pad components (only do two at a time, don't have to take wheels off) and that'll help for awhile.

Wow :eek: You spray a lubricant on your brakes?!?! You are a brave soul.
check to see if the tabs on the brake pads are rubbing the rotors,its there to let you when its time to change them. Also, brakes last as long as you want them to, whether your on the brakes hard all the time, or slow down gradually.
hope that helps.

Yeah, been doing it for years. The first time I did it, I was a kid and sprayed all four of 'em. Had to drive real slow around the block a couple of times. :D
