My brakes don't calibrate on their own, therefore they make a squeaking sound when I break how do I fix it

I dont think it's a break pedal it's probley pads or rear shoes, there are mmetal sencers that rub on the rotor when the pads get thin thats probley what your hearing check your brakes.

It's probably just the brake pads starting to wear out. Most pads will start to produce the squeaking noise when they are close to being worn out to let you know that it's time to go and have them replaced. Take it to your preferred mechanic and ask them to check your brake pads. Hopefully, you just need new pads and you'll be on your way, but your mechanic should be able to tell you if it is something more sinister than the brake pads wearing out.

it may mean nothing, squeaks from brakes area not uncommon. on the other hand, if the noise changes when you apply the brakes or if you just haevnt had the brakes inspected latley, it could be the wear indicator rubbing, this means the brakes are at the minimum thickness and should be replaced

Hi Chery, squeaking from the brakes isn't at all uncommon. The simplest and most likely cause is dust in the braking system. This gets between the fristion material and the disc or drum, heats up and creates the sound. Going beyond that, it might be a lack of lubricant (special grease) bwtween the disc pad (or brake-shoe) and the actuator/s. Worse still it's possible it's indicative of worn out brake friction material in which case it could well be the base of the pad or the brake shoe rubbing against the disc or drum. This last will entail a brake overhaul - fitting replacement pads and/or shoes, and if this has caused disc or drum wear, their repplacement too. Good luck!

sounds like you got air in your brake lines from where you changed your pads thier should be a bleeder valve on your brakes get a friend to hold the brake pedal to the floor while you take a wrench and break the valve open when the pedal hits the floor close the valve just continue doing that until pure brake fluid comes out without air bubbles start at the master cylinder under the hood and don't stop until you have done all four corners if that doesn't fix it you might need a brake booster

Four things to check; tires, shocks/struts, differential, and breaks.

tires: check to see all the tires are balanced and at the proper pressure

differential: if you are hearing a grinding sound and there is oil dripping from the rear or front differentials you should et them reaired

shocks/struts: push down on the bumpers if you are able to bottom out the susspension then you need to replace the shocks/struts

breaks: if your breaks are squeaking or you hear metal grinding then you may need to replace the brakes

the differential would be your most likely candidate for the problem the way you have described this problem, but don't rule out the others because it may be a combination of the problems.

• Take a can of brake clean and spray it on the belt while it is rotating. If the sound goes away for good it was a dirty or wet belt. If the sound goes away and come back it is more than likely a bad belt. Remove the belt and turn all the pulleys to see if they are spinning free. a stuck pulley can cause a belt to squeal too. If a pulley should catch a bit then perhaps the pulley could be part of the issue as well. Should all pulleys check good then put a new belt on. Don't forget to check the tension pulley for weak springs.

If the squeeking is happening over bumps, and is not related to breaking, it could be a bearing in the steering linkage. My tahoe is doing the same thing, and my local garage says it is only a dealer fix. That is why I am searching this site now, is to find out if anyone else is complaining about this. I was told that GM is fully aware of this problem.

Most likely, there are metal peaces on the break pad, for when the pads get wore down to a certain point they rub the rotor to let you know its time for new breaks.
