I searched, briefly, so forgive me if it has been asked before.

My brakes seem to be whistling(lol, seriously) when I brake in Reverse, ie, pulling out of the drive way.

No noise when in Drive, only in reverse...don't think it's normal, or is it?

:puppydogeyes:

I just got the car a last thursday x_x the lady <i>said</i> she had the pads checked and they had more than 50% still left, I'll go get it checked tmrw I guess, would I really need to replace rotors? It's doesn't even 50,000 miles yet =|

edit: as calreef said, squeal, I'll record it for you :P, unlike calreef, I don't get any squeals when in Drive.

A lot of vehicles squeak in the AM hours when you first use your brakes. If you park next to a sprinker system, or due/moisture from overnight..are signs why normal cars squeak.

As long as there is plenty of pad left and you don't experience shaking while braking (or car leaning towards one side when braking) your good to go!
