retardedly loud break squeks...?

ok so i have a 2007 g-sedan sport (V36/second gen). so for the past month or so my breaks have been squeaking like crazy! and very loud as well. when it first started it was quiet and just occasionally and so I figured it was just brake dust. But now it happens about 95% of the time when i slow down to a stop and it is SUPER loud. is it possible the rotors are warped? or anything? I am under warranty so i am hoping that is the case so they cover it under warranty...what do i look for when stopping to be able to tell if my rotors/pads are defective...they have once re-surfaced my rotors at the dealership and now this problem has arrived. if i need to swap my entire brake system out, should i go aftermarket for the price? or what do you recommend? thanks guys.

I don't know if I have the same problem but I feel your pain. My car is having the same issues (mine is a 2004) and I have no idea what the deal is. Did you find out any more info?

PS: I was asking for the most part the same thing in the feed "Random Brake Question"

Have you checked to see if perhaps it's time to change the pads out?

^+1 almost all new pads have wear indicator clips that emit a loud screeching sound when braking when the pads are due for replacement.

interesting i had no idea that is how brake pads work. I went to a brake shop and they said my rotors are warped. He didnt check the brake pads but Tmrw at the dealership we will see if they will cover the rotors.

^ Then you need to apply some generous amount of brake lube BEHIND the brake pads and taht should take care of it, some shops forget this is a hurry.
