My car's less than 3 months old and is already making brake squeaking noise. I think it's coming from the rear, but not sure. I have 3,500 miles on it, mostly local miles. I wash my car at car wash places (100% hand wash supposedly.....) and thinking the formulas that they use (rainbow or whatever) might have caused it? Anyone with same experiences? Please, don't tell me that G's require new brakes every three months.

Mine's fine at 8000+ miles.

Is it REALLY LOUD?
Mine was coming from the front and happened at around 5mph while slowing down to a stop.
My dealership said Infiniti is aware of it and they replaced the pads and turned the rotors - seems to have fixed it.
I asked if it was just the sport front disks and they hadn't checked whether it was one kind or another.
Hope this helps...

Never a peep at about 7500 miles. It's been through a mix of touchless car washes and my own hand washing. I can't imagine it's your car wash that is doing it. Test drive the dealer's service dept.- if they tell you it's 'normal' try to give someone else the business if you can....

That's when I hear the sound and it's not that loud. I didn't even notice it until my girlfriend told me.

I'm taking my car in this weekend for the first oil change and will let them know of it.

update will follow. ^^

Mine was loud as hell. I took it off to check for the cause and I found a piece of tiny rock/sand stuck between the metal brakets. After cleaning it up, I put everything back and it is good all over again. I only have about 1,500 miles on the car now.

I was too lazy to take it in to have the dealer check it out. I figure I might save more time just to do it myself and make sure everything is put back correctly. It took me about a half an hour. I will never trust anybody to do my breaks.

These breaks system is the easiest to take apart, but you need the hex key
