Take it to your dealer. Hopefully they will lube the brake parts. With mine, the dealer failed 4 times, so I had to do it myself.

Please keep in mind, the front brakes have a TSB for them but the rear brakes do not.

Hopefully your dealer won't tell you "you have a high preformance car and you have to except some quirks."

That is exactly what my dealer said. Oddly I only notice it in the summer.

But it's def the brakes.

Or course my front seat squeeks now too

never had that problem before my car got plowed twice.

I just had this thought..... could be a loose nut behind the wheel.

I had a squeak on mine recently that turned out to be an exhaust leak. In my case it was at the 2 clamps that connect the cat pipes to the rest of the exhaust. Easy to check too, just look down there and see if there are black stain lines in that area.

UHmm the sound I heard was rotational but I have noticed some black stains on the rear mufflers. I'll check it out and post what happens.

I had just noticed this happening on an intermitent basis and thought how can you diagnos something that happens once in a while? Seems like it could be with the brakes but not necessarily.

Have you been able to get your vehicle in to be checked? If you get it checked in and the dealer is unable to resolve this for you let me know and I'll take it from there. I hope it isn't anything serious!

They were not able to hear the squeaking in their large garage unfortunately. If there is anything you can do, please let me know. Thanks!

This is exactly how i found out mine was making that noise, in my garage. Couple days ago when I was at a dragstrip, I heard it again but this time it was even louder! Im guessing because of the 2 walls around u. I need to take it to the dealership and I keep forgetting it

SKERIS · 07-24-2011, 06:07 AM

Mine did it for the first 2k and then hasn't since...sounded like a brake issue.

eastwoodisme · 07-24-2011, 07:05 AM

I have heard two different types of squeaks. One of them was when going down the road at regular speeds (when I pressed the brakes it stopped then continued when let go) the other I just started hearing last night. It sounds like a fast food cup with a straw in the lid getting pulled up and down... that kind of squeak. It sounds like the front end. Possibly some shifting body panels? Idk

Gene Culley · 07-24-2011, 07:51 AM

If you hear a noise like that and it isn't the brakes it could certainly be a hub bearing. This would also explain a rotational noise for others.

My damn seat squeeks like crazy!

The first one haha. I'm taking my car to the dealership tomorrow to get it fixed.

Kahdir · 07-25-2011, 08:01 AM

Having a similar issue. I need to take time off to recreate the problem for the dealer and hopefully have it resolved in one trip.
