Readjust your squelch tab on the pad. Or take brake clean and spray your rotor and get any dust out of your pads...LET IT DRY BEFORE YOU DRIVE. )

X2. The brake tab will be an easy fix. The brake cleaner should be dried by the time you put the can away in the garage and get in the car.

you may have dirt imbedded in your pad. do you have any grooves on your rotors?

i'm having this exact same problem. once the rotors get a little heat in them they stop squealing. it's sooo annoying! my pads has plenty of life and the tabs aren't even close. i sprayed em off with brake cleaner so i'll see if it worked the next time i drive.

Rust on the rotor can be the culprit also. Those good 'ol OEM things...

pull your pads out and see if there is any grease between the pad and the caliper...if not trow a little on the back of the pads.. vibrations between the two can cause this...greese will help
