Has been discussed before...the search feature is your friend, follow the link.

Lemon Laws are usually very specific to how long the vehicle is out of service, or how many attempts are made to repair the problem...this of course varies from state to state.

Mine were squealing as well. I simply removed the pads and gave them a rub with a flat file and problem solved. Appeared there was a small piece of metal embedded in one of the pads causing the noise.

My 2019 Ram 1500 has just over 8,000 miles and my brakes squeal like crazy when backing out of my driveway (slightly downhill). It only happens first thing in the morning when cold and backing up. I reported it to the dealer the last time I took it in. They said they couldn't recreate it. They probably tried when it was warm. It's quite embarrassing as everyone in my neighborhood knows when I back up my truck. I had the same type of noises going forward up until about 4,000 miles. Guess I need to brake backwards 4,000 miles.

This is a quite common occurence on any vehicle. The brake rotors will get surface rust overnight and the first time they are applied, they will squeal. That is because the rotors will collect condensation as they cool down overnight and it turns into surface rust. As you brake, you are scaping the rust off and they squeal. Unless you leave the vehicle overnight at the dealer, they will never hear it. Don't know a good fix. Maybe ceramic pads?

I have the same issue when backing out kf my driveway. No other vehicle i have owned has ever done this, the dealer says it's normal but thats a load of bull. None of my neighbors vehicles do this and I feel dumb backing out as everyone turns to see what POS is near to see its just a brand new Ram...

Is the noise coming from the front or rear. There is a thread in regards to ft brake noise. It involves replacing front pad and rotors with superceded parts. Possibly also calipers. Nothing in the rear as far as I can remember.

Also stop using your brakes lightly!! They glaze and if your a soft foot you never get it off. My SRT 8 products over the years would squeak if you didn’t use the brakes hard time to time. Many users always complaining about squeaky brakes drove soft.

Also forgot to mention the vehicles I drive for work ford explorers will squeak as well as high metal content in pads. Same thing until they are hammered on they will squeak

 

[Bboyce536]

I know this trick. Ive done numerous brake pedal "stomps." I'll take it in. Can I get a link or Part # for the superceded parts? Its all 4 as far as I can tell. Sometimes does it while moving without even touching the brakes.

 

[Cruzer1]

I'd like the superceded part # or link also, someone please share. I will replace all 4 pads. My kids have new Honda Civics that back out of the driveway with no noise. Soft foot or not, the brakes make a lot of noise, sometimes when moving forward but not all of the time.

Someone even posted a video of the noise. Check it out.

question. Dealer is saying that they heard a leaking caliper has caused the brakes to squeak. He also said if the caliper is not leaking they would lubricate. IF the noise remains then that is normal.
