Squeaky Brakes

My brakes squeak just about every time I step on the pedal. It's a high pitch and only lasts a second or so, during the initial push on the pedal when there's not much pressure. Once the pressure gets to the part where the car starts to slow, the squeak stops. Other than the noise, the brakes work fine, but it is annoying.

I plan having the dealer take a look at my next oil change (I'm at 70% now) but was wondering if anyone else has this or any thoughs on what it may be.

Thanks.

LL

Sounds like the pads are glazed. Overtime it might stop if you can wait it out.

I just had mine replaced at 55K miles and the new ones squeak worse than the original. I am going back to dealer.

mine are like that too. i had the dealer check it before, and it went away, but it's back. so i'm used to it...sort of, no big deal. it also says in the manual that they'll "squeak" (forgot the terminology they used) and that it's normal. mine is like around 13000 miles
