Does anyone else have a brake squeal problem? I'm over 4,000 miles and still cannot get rid of the squeal. Sometimes it isn't there but there are also times when it is very loud, particularly when the temperatures are in 70/80 range.

Just wondering if anyone else had this and how it was corrected?

I'm having consistent brake squealing after driving for an hour or so Daily!! I have just reached 5K and it is getting louder everyday! Has anybody had this problem? If so, have you taken it to the dealer for diagnostic check? I would appreciate any feedback !!

I'm starting to hear it at 2500, I may not have noticed it except for this forum pointing it out Has anybody tried to get the dealer to remedy? Any ideas on what they can/will do to fix this issue?

about 3,000 miles and mine just started also. I belive there is a TSB on the issue.

Tsb

What is a TSB? Technical *** Bulletin?

Does it mean that Cadillac has someone working on it?

Is there a way to track these?

Some software companies allow customers to access a database that shows progress on these issues.

Help!

finally got my car in this week, brake squeek is only one of the issues.

I'm just under 13k miles and they tell me they are squeeking because
front and rear pads and front roters need to be replaced.
....and they are refusing to cover it!!!!
Roters need to be ordered and there are no pads available???!!!

can anybody help me out here???

stop please

Try after market like NAPA and the new C6 are the same but I doubt Chev have them stock yet.

I think this is a major issue, mine is doing it as well (5K). I think the TSB only means that it has been reported the the NHTSA. We need to "make" the dealers fix this issue so Cadillac get the message and does something about it.

Allen?

Sounds like this is a job for super-Allen. Any suggestions?

pads at 13K miles, maybe, but rotors? Is this normal wear and tear?
