Brakes squeal at 40K miles!

[AD2677]

I have 2015 Genesis, 3.8, AWD that’s barely under 40k miles and my brakes are emitting a faint squeal. I’m going to have the pads checked and see what’s up. Has anyone else had similar issue with similar mileage?

It happens on a lot of cars. Often from certain driving conditions. My neighbor never had a squeal but this wife makes every car squeal.

Again, depending on how and where you drive, the pads may be gone. When I lived in the city I'd replace pads at 15k.
Many brakes have wear indicators that make a noise when the pads get low.

Thank you. I had the car 24k miles onward, I presume they weren’t changed. Definitely going to change them at first opportunity.

If you got 40k out of front pads, I'd say that was doing pretty well - especially if it's mainly city driving.

I got the car with 24k miles, CPO, not sure if they were ever changed. The wear indicators that squeal are a tool to use and avoid rotor damage, mine were still good since I took it in immediately. Strongly recommended to have brakes inspected and pads changed at first sign of squeal. $225 including labor for front pads replacement.

Same here, mostly city bumper to bumper driving and I average about 30K before I have noise or performance issues and replace. I will say that I am not thrilled with the aftermarket rotors and pads that I installed and next time I will be going back to the OEM setup.

I’m getting these done at Meineke, the dealership appointments were couple weeks out, I didn’t want to damage the rotors. We’ll see how long they last. Plus, I’m moving next week, had to get them done now.
