Angry 2008 Tahoe LTZ can't get the squeeling out when brakes are applied.

My Tahoe squeals when the brakes are applied and I can't stand it. I have had the brake pads replaced twice. GM on them now. I have had the rotors replaced still squeal. The Chevrolet dealership has added new hardware, resurfaced the brand new rotors and it still squeals. Please give me a solution.

We’re sorry to hear your brake concern has gone unresolved, Jane Tew. We’d be glad to research this from our end via private message if interested. Should you send an inquiry, please include your VIN, contact information, current mileage, and preferred dealership.

Thanks!

so the brakes are all new front and rear? probably need lubed, for some reason the training of lubing slide surfaces and pins during a brake job seems to be missing for a lot of techs. I've fixed tons of brake squeals by simply cleaning and lubing them up, many times after they were just replaced by another tech or shop

^^^^^
Agree!!

If the pads have not been glazed over, almost positive the calipers just need to be cleaned and all contact points and slide pins lubed. I've done many brake jobs on many different makes/models for friends and family and always clean/lubed the calipers. I have yet to have any of the brakes jobs I have done come back with complaints of noise/squealing.
