Help!!!!! tired of the Squeaking!

[Frank in MD]

I had that issue w/ my '10 Malibu. Used to drive me nuts, and I also heard it more when next to a jersey wall. That was in the fall of '11. As the weather cooled it seemed to lessen, and eventually dissipate altogether. Maybe it just seemed that way b/c my windows were up? Anyhow, dealer also couldn't remedy the issue. Funny b/c once I gave it to svc for the afternoon so they could drive it, hear it for themselves. Tech said he didn't hear anything, but when I got my car back, my radio station was on some xm hip-hop station.... I wonder how one listens for brake squeal while listening to the radio?

Dealer will be able to help you under warranty better than a website.

I have had this issue with Brembos before. I had some on a Stang that I once had (I know, I grew up though) and they would squeak/screach when I came to a slow stop. I was at a track day and this exact discussion came up. Why do my brakes squeak like that? This elderly gentlemen asked me, do they work? I replied, Yes but they squeak at low speeds. He said, well son, they werent made to use in parades. LOL Point taken! Later I learned that this is a very common trend with Brembo Brake systems. When you utilize a high performance brake system some times you sacrifice a little noise. If you add performance exhaust to the equation though you dont hear it that much. If anything, knowing that your Brembos squeak, you can tell your freinds what a wise man once told me. "They werent made to use in parades"

I try to go from 60-25 fairly quickly but it does not help the problem. I can't stand rolling up to a light in such a nice car and having my brakes make noise its embarrassing.

I am sorry to hear this. If you could please send me any more details regarding this issue via PM, I will gladly be able to look into this issue for you to see if there are any options available. We do value your concerns. I look forward to your response.

Wash the wheels and brakes more often. If you clean out all that dust they tend the squeak much less.

MY BRAKES SQUEEK TOO!!! and pisses me off and is the most embarrasing thing in the world coming up to a red light and a high pitch squeek comes up like is an 89 beater

i knoww!! for all the money chevy has and all these other company's have, you'd think they could invests a little money to quit the squeaking. when the untrained ear hears squeaking coming from a car they automatically think something is wrong with it.
