    My brakes started squealing while on a road trip earlier this month. I was right at 15k miles. Seems like the squeaks come and go as they please. It's not just after the truck sits overnight or in the rain or anything. They will squeal when coming to a stop after driving for a while. If I can't replicate the issue while at the dealership I'm going to squeal until I get them to do something about it. Anyone else have noisy brakes? This is way too soon to have the squeaks and squeals.

    with only 15k miles the new brakes are not or were not bedded in properly, once they get bedded the noises miraculously go away

    I'd bet only 1 in 1,000 ever considers bedding brakes on a new vehicle. Of course only 3 in 1,000 even knows what that means. :D

    You'll know you have a generous dealer if they touch it under warranty, as it's a wear item. They have no idea how you have treated the brakes in that 15k.

    Possible exception. If the squeal is from the rear, there have been cases of out of round drums from the factory that have been replaced under warranty.
