So the other night I had to do I really hard break and downshift to keep of rear ending some one. And now when ever in drive under 10mph its a high pitch squeak. Warped rotors maybe??

both of you... it's brakes, not breaks. sorry sounds like your pads are worn down past the wear point.

Haha oh my bad now the stealership could be telling me what I want to hear.. But last time I got an oil change I specifically told them to check my front brakes and they said they were a 7/10.. I'll have to get a look at the pads :/

Then maybe your calipers are done if you think its coming from the brakes. Also glazed up rotors will give you a squeak.

Yes the small metal tabs on the pad will just keep rubbing on the rotor. Your pins could be seized up also

Yeah this too, its just generally when the pads are shot that this happens but cobalt calipers sieze all the time too

Ive never seen pads that are to the wear tab make noise if not applied i would think its because they are applied but i mean anything could happen,

Just check to see how much life your pads have also if your rotors look super shiny (glazed) that could cause the squeaky brake i had it happen recently on mine pads where fine but i would get squeaky sometimes. Plus my rotors where a bit warped so i turned them and that removed the glazing so killed 2 biRds with one stone

Ive seen and heard it plenty of times on cars. In this case i dont think thats the issue. I would think a seized caliper pin or a piston.
