    Does anyone have this problem every morning? I have a new car and its incredibly annoying to hear the squeaking when pulling out of the driveway..

    I'm assuming its a combination of houston humidity -> condensation on brakes-> becomes rust overnight.. the squeaking goes away after driving for a bit. anyone found any good solutions?

    IF your car is an infiniti, you have to get used to it. That's just how they are made. IF it its a BMW then you just have to clean your wheels bc, the brakes create a lot of dust.

    if it's a new set of brakes (since it's a new car) try bedding it in.

    If it's a 2012-2015 Jag XJL, get used to it. It never squeaks when taken it in for service so it's never fixed. As soon as it leave the dealership though, squeaks begin. They have their own mind.

    If it's a 2014 Jeep Trailhawk, forget about it. It will be recalled once a month, it will probably catch fire and the radio is always hacked.

    If it's a 350Z/370Z just get loud ass exhausts so it annoys the freaking life out of everyone and they won't even notice the squeaking.

    If it's an Impala, just get some airbags and bounce it out at the stop light.

    I just took my car into the shop yesterday to get the brakes inspected - because they were squeaky. Said everything is fine. In fact, I had new pads installed on front and rear just last year.

    I had the issue and eventually it went away on its own.

    But if you know a good shop they may be able to diagnose it

    You either have to bed them in or get a coating formula and wipe it on

    Does it go away when you're pulling the space shuttle?

    Change your pads to ceramic or deal with it.

    If it's a 2015 Ferrari, get used to it.
