Squeeling brakes AGAIN!

[thrawnis]

My car has just over 15k miles on it (bought in June 2007). So far I had to take the car in to the dealership 3 times for brake squealing issues and is covered under the factory warranty. Twice for the rears and once for the front. It has been a few months since my last trip and the front brakes are squealing again!! FYI, the rotors have never warped. I'm tired of taking the damn car to the dealership for this issue but at the same time, the squealing is really loud and makes it seem like I really don't take care of my car (which is absolutely not the case).

I'm a pretty aggressive, but not reckless, driver so I do accelerate and brake harder than the average driver. My driving habits are unlikely to change as the car is just too much fun!

What can I do to make the brakes not squeal?!? Thanks!

Could be break dust?

Try bedding in the pads:

do they squeal when u go under 20? cuz i seem to be having the same problem. took it to the dealership and they said that the breaks were semi-metallic, and that's what is causing it to squeal. but i dont know crap about brakes, so i kinda give up on them

1. Slow down.
2. Look forward.
3. Anticipate any need to slow down and/or stop.
4. Since you've anticipated, you can apply your brakes gently and slow your car gradually.

Works for me. I truly have never had any "brake wear" work done in my over 35 years of driving.

Here is what i would do, skip the dealer again, skip contacting toyota, i would take the brakes apart myself and use some anti squeal compound on the back of the pads.
