i don't think i do...sometimes a layer of rust forms on the brakes...after braking once or twice it goes away and so does te sqeaking

^^^ thats exactly it, when a car stands the rust builds (don't know why or how) but it then gets rubbed off. Same thing happens to some of my familys newer cars.

I would get some aem pads. they seem to help with most squeaking problems, and they are probably cheaper than oem. also, have your rotors checked to see if you need to have them turned (cut) if they are warped at all. we only charge 8 bucks a side so it is well worth it.

Default Heh.

Every car i've had does this, the humidity here does it to most cars. As the original poster said, after a couple times it usually goes away.

My wife's Kia is the worst though, but it had crappy brakes to begin with. (bleah) I hate that car. hehe.

mine started squealing too. braking at 100+ mph didn't help. proabably what caused them to start squealing. i'm just gonna wear my pads down and get slotted rotors w/ better pads. looking to upgrade to the type r brakes (larger rotors and better calipers).
