brakes squealing

Ugh, just notice the other day and it was bad this morning. But my brakes are squealing really bad. I have 14.5k miles. I hope it's just the brakepads that people are talking about. Anybody else with this problem? Ugh....

Well, i've made my appintment at PAA for next friday so i know i am in good hands

Get used to it. Mine have been squeaking for over a year now and every time I bring it to the dealer they tell me it's normal and all brakes will squeak. I'm really getting sick of the bullshit they're telling me and am about to go and test drive a brand new cl-s and when those brakes don't squeak bitch at them for lying to me. These damn dealers are soooo annoying.

Too bad you can't get the older style pads that still had asbestos in them. They worked well, with less dust and less squealing.

Sounds like your brake pads my friend or its brake dust. Try using brake dust cleaner, if that doesnt help, then take it to the dealer.
