This is the same with mine. I need to be a little harder on them.

SteelCamaro · 03-14-2015, 11:09 AM

Yeah, mine always have under light braking.

BrutalSS · 03-14-2015, 11:11 AM

Mine do as well and my brake pads/rotors are fine.

BurnedRubber · 03-14-2015, 11:12 AM

i had that problem until l i switched to BAER rotors and ceramic pads. you may just need to re grease the backs of your pads.

Mine squeal once in a while.

BluePhoenix · 03-14-2015, 11:44 AM

On my 2012 they did not squeal at all. My 2010's brakes has squealed since the night I bought it. They don't squeal all of the time but at least once per drive. Dealer told me due to not apply the brakes lightly and it may stop as the guy above said, but it didn't.

B_Rian · 03-14-2015, 01:07 PM

They don't squeal for me, but when I'm taking my foot off the brake after coming to a complete stop, they do make some weird noise. I thought it was normal

jergarr · 03-14-2015, 01:15 PM

Mine squeal a lot. Sometimes I can hear a squeal when I'm driving without touching the brake.

Of course when I go to the dealer I get the whole can not duplicate thing.

The brakes have sufficient pad material left, and the brake rotors are not scored. I think the pads may just be glazed badly. The squealing is pretty bad, and tends to be worse when cold.

Mine did until I switched to ceramics. Less dust also

Harrisonda09 · 03-14-2015, 10:23 PM

My squeal after it rains but only once or twice until the rotors dry up.

rotwiler · 05-07-2015, 06:13 PM

Mine made the highest pitch squeal you could probably get from brakes, was horrible. I decided to get new drilled/slotted front rotors, since previous owner had them so they would match the back rotors. I bought ceramic pads, all was great for about 2,000 miles, now when car sits for a period of time, 7-8 hours when I go slow, super loud squeal, so loud I'm pretty sure the community I live in hates me

who cares about the exhaust, the squeal overshadows it lol. But, within a block or two, squeal goes away with a few harder stops. It's frustrating, sounds like one of those air horns my neighbor uses to scare bears away. Seems like the light glaze of rust that forms when sitting causes pads to vibrate, only thing I can think of.

This but I use brake cleaner
