Something is wrong with my brakes.

Ahmad11 · 06-29-2011, 12:06 AM

When I'm going like 15-25 mph
I hear this high pitched squeak..this happens when I'm not pressing on the gas or brakes..only when I'm just cursing say through a neighborhood..

What is the problem?

How much to fix it?

Possibly some foreign object (rock, pebble or otherwise) has made it's way in between the caliper and rotor? Any evidence of scoring on the rotor?

Or

Parking brake not fully releasing and still has some slight contact.

I've seen both and both have caused squealing.

I had this happen on my little Nissan Sentra. Turned out to just be dirty brakes. I recommend removing your wheel and spraying some brake cleaner on your brakes. If that doesn't help and you can't find any foreign objects in there, it might be a bearing going out on you...
