My 07 Hoe has 26,000 miles and the brakes have squeaked periodically since day one. Only when the brakes are cold and goes away after a couple of stops. My 01 did the same thing for 125,000 miles and 2 complete brake jobs but got 80,000 miles out of my second brake job so couldn't complain.

Might try pulling the pads and sanding the glaze off.

Default 07 Tahoe Front Brakes

My 07 tahoe also has brake issues. They do not squeal, but the rotors are completely groved on both front rotors. 11K miles on the truck, and i plan on replacing pads and rotors when i have a chance.

How deep are the grooves? Is it out of warranty?

I also have a couple of grooves in my rotors also , they are not very deep but they are almost identical on both front sides, the rears look fine.
