So my Brembos started squeaking loud when I come to a slow stop (pressure barely being applied to the brakes). Car has 3150 miles on it and they have never done this before until last week. So I take my car to the dealership and they say that nothing is wrong with my brakes and they even printed off this piece of paper from GM stating that my brakes and high performance and are expected to make some noise. They are not going to do anything about it and it is really starting to get annoying. I can hear them squeak even with my windows up and heater blowing. Has anyone else had problems with squeaky breaks and dealers saying it's normal?

Yeah that can be normal, I heard a squeak at low speed when coming to a stop in the first few thousand miles. It will lessen and may go away over time. Check your rear rotors on the inside, by sticking your hand through the wheel and feeling the surface, you may have a large groove in them. Happens to a lot of cars and the dealer will turn them under warranty.

Mine only does it when its cold/cooler out side. If this is your first winter with the car then this is why it is the first time you are hearing it.

Southtown57

Yeah...but it's pretty damn loud when rolling to a slow stop.

when i test drove one the other day it made noise too.. i wasnt worried about it

You will notice it, that is for sure.

Sometimes you will even notice your rear brakes doing the same. And like you said, only when you have barely any pressure applied.

Myself (09 SS/TC) and a guy I work with (08 SS/TC) are employed by a GM Dealership and sadly, the dealership you went to is not telling fables. There are no fixes for it (as of yet, and doubt there will be)

Whats up Cam?? Mine have been squeaking since day one. pretty damn annoying but I'm too cheap to replace brakes before they're worn out.

Southtown57

Alright as long as it's normal i'm ok with it. Still pretty damn annoying though.

Mine only does it on the rears.

Oxidy

Replacing them won't do anything in regards to the noise.

My breakes over heated on my 09/tc and discolord my calipers and boiled my fluid that is the only time mine made noise

Oxidy

It is only noticeable around 0 degrees cel.

Its normal for high performance brakes when they are cold. If you are annoyed by the sound then get some less aggressive pads. You will lose some brake performance but the noise will go away.

Some people on here have recommended Hawk pads and they claim theirs make less noise.

my lt had started squeaking too but it doesnt have the fancy brembo brakes on it... but i had to clean the dust and little rocks out of the cooling groove in the pads it stopped squeaking and my brakes are touchy now instead of pathetic

aterminatorz

How the heck did you do that? I never heard that before, are you trolling?

SilverBaltSSTC

Yea mine have been making the noise for awhile and I know the pads arent worn down, it is extremly annoying!!

Yup perfectly normal with the Ferodo pads (I beleive these are the stock pads for our cars) to squeak if you want them to stop either run a lower quality pad or make your stops later and harder lol

I have Hawk HPS' on the back so the backs squeak when it's cool/cold now too
