If it has several thousands of miles on it ...... it could be the pads are worn down to the metal wear indicators (making a metallic squealing sound when applied).

Also, a brake inspection may be in order, there could be a lose caliper or a rock stuck between the pad and rotor.

If the pads are wore out ....... for normal driving, I would suggest they be replaced with the OEM pads.

Hi Humfrz, the car got 4,500 on the meter so its not brand new and have apperently been driven once in the winter. Do you recommend any pads?
