Aczwild Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Its the weather. When applying the breaks, the rotors heat up due to friction and since they are cold to start out due to the temperatures, the metal rotors will not heat evenly quickly and leads to small ridges which cause the squeaking. Once the breaks are fully heated, the ridges pretty much go away and ta-da, no more squeaking. You're fine, dont sweat it and enjoy the snow! JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

smkscrn Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have had squeaking breaks for the past 15k miles. It is an intermitent squeal that usually only occurs for about 2-5 seconds at speeds higher than 5mph. Generally, it occurs when I am slowing off the highway onto the off-ramp, however it occurs in stop and go traffic as long as I have some speed to slow down from. I have requested and documented at the service department every time i have brought the car in for an oil change or other service. They have repeatedly stated that there is no significant wear and the brakes are operating as designed, resulting in no need to replace anything. The squeal is quite annoying and definitely calls for something to be replaced if the problem is ongoing.... Any ideas? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smkscrn Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Decided to try a different dealership....they were able to figure it out and covered it under warranty even though I am over the 3/36k. Squeal all gone.... I think they just put a little more effort into cleaning them, oiling them and whatever else they do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
