Does anyone else have really squeaky brakes?

My zl1 has 1700 miles on it and the clock, my brakes are really squeaky like nails on a chalkboard squeaky. Anyone else have this issue? Any fixes for this thanks again

Mine has never been really squeaky, but whenever they start to squeak a little, a few fairly hard brakes have always done the trick.

I had a problem when breaking really slow somtimes - washed the wheels with Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner and it fixed it - I think it was breakdust buildup somewhere

+1

1200 miles on mine and when they squeak it’s always just break dust buildup. Usually on the rear brakes. A good cleaner has fixed my issues. I prefer Chemical Guys. I’ll replace the brakes sooner or later.

never had this issue. I do use a pressure washer to blast the brake dust out the wheel assemblies very couple of washes though.

Or some people do it on purpose. Get over yourself and help the guy out with his question. Maybe, just maybe, his iPhone autocorrected or maybe not. Either way...who cares, man?

Just go to the carwash and jet spray them. It will squeak no more. You will be amazed at how much black soot comes out. Just don't do when they are screaming hot.
