Alright... I had my brake pads and rotors replaced at Pepboys recently... I even spent the extra money to have Raybestos put on.

I even had them check it twice because at the same time I had that done the Emergency Brake and ABS light stayed on.. not to mention the speedometer stopped working between 0-24mph (ended up being the Vehicle speed sensor).... but anyway. They still squeek.

What gives ?

Try tapering the top and bottom edges of the brake pads and/or grinding a groove through center of the pad with a cutoff wheel (DON'T GRIND ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PAD). This has been highly effective on neon brakes which are notorious for squeeks.

Are they semi metallic pads? Had new pads installed a few months ago and have had nothing but squeeks and grinds since, been back 3 times,each time they say everything is fine. Go figure! I believe next time, I will install ceramic pads!
