Brake Squeak

[hdiego05]

Find a new dealer.

Initially, mine couldn't hear it either as if the vehicle sits for an hour or so it cools down enough that they don't squeal initially. After driving it around for about 20 minutes the squeal appeared.

yeah, ill have to find a new dealer or wait till it makes the noise again and take it in as its making the noise. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but my 21 Badlands is getting the dreaded brake squeal.

It happened yesterday and today (both over 100 degrees with high humidity) but only on the way back home this afternoon and with a light press/hold of the pedal. Goes away after a bit of 'aggressive' braking.

So now, after the front brakes were changed, I'm getting this squeal ONLY at slow (1 mph-ish) rolling.

Brakes again?

Sounds like brake squeak to me. Like a glazed spot on brake rotor and rotor slightly warped. Take back to dealer?

Yeah. Wish I knew if it was the front or back.

Maybe have someone stand outside and listen as you drive by?

If you can't get a helper like Cuda suggests I've found driving next a building with the windows down is almost as good. A hard vertical surface can reflect the sound back at you.
