Is anyone else dealing with squealing rear brakes on initial start-up?
I have a bit over 6,000 miles. There is no steering wheel shaking when I brake. I mentioned it to the dealer during my 5k service. Of course they couldn't recreate the issue. Not surprised. However, it's something I can always recreate. They said they inspected rear brakes and everything checked out. Rotors were measured and brake pads don't show any uneven wear.
On initial start-up, I will get a high pitch squealing when stopping from 20mph or under. Once I get onto the main road or highway and do a few stops from 40mph or more, the squealing goes away. This happens all the time. First thing in the morning. During my lunch break 4 hours later. And on the drive home from work 4 hours later. At first I thought it was just the early morning light rust and I just needed to get through that. Then, I started to realize it happens all the time and not just in the mornings.
Like I mentioned, there is no shimmying in the steering wheel when I brake and brake performance feels the same as when I first purchased the car. It's just annoying dealing with it on a brand new car. I've been through my fair share of new cars and this is the first time I'm dealing with this starting around 3k miles. I do my own brake work on my cars and will probably take the rears apart and inspect them myself when I get the chance. Just don't feel like I should have to do that on a car with 6k miles.
