I once went through gravel, and had alot of gravel stuck in brakes, and damaged the pads, and the rotors only had like 25% left on them. So i had Midas put on new front pads and rotors. They were great, for like a week. Afterwards they started squeeking again! In that week i drove like 400 miles on the highway for a little trip so i didnt apply brakes that much, thank god for cruise control
And i took the truck back, and they scuffed the pads, and it stopped the squeeking for like a week. Now its back.... I dont even ride the brakes or anything, dont know whats wrong.

 

The squeak has nothing to do with the pad to rotor contact, its the pad to the caliper making the noise. You need to add grease or rtv to the back of the pads where they contact the adaptor plate that holds the pads

 

I have no idea how to work on brakes Haha. Umm should Midas have done that in the.first place when they put on new pads?

 

Well Honestly, No.... Most places like that seam to have high school GED people who do not know the ins and outs to items. From factory they do not do it, so its not gonna be written down in any how to. Its just one of those things that I, and many people do to eliminate those issues.

You might get some squeal if your rotors are glazed over, but that is very unlikely.

I would take them back and see if they are willing to put grease or rtv on the back of the pads where they contact the caliper adapter bracket.

 

I have greased mine before and it still makes noise. I found it is just cheap parts. Use OEM parts and you will be fine.

 

I dont think its that. They were perfectly fine at one time, then i went through rocks and got them stuck so it ruined rotors because of the loud squeeking and such. The same squeek happened a week after i got the new brakes on.

 

If you had your brakes replaced at Midas, I can tell you 100% for a fact that they used cheap pads and probably didn't do a great job of machining your rotors. I used to work for Tire Kingdom & I can't tell you how many times they used cheap carbon fiber brake pads just to keep their parts cost low. I assure you that if you use ceramic pads and have the slide pins lubricated, the pad seating surfaces cleaned & properly lubricated you won't have any noise at all. You can do it yourself and send your rotors to most auto part stores or to a nearby shop that has a brake lathe & have a light surface cut on the rotors.

 

Yeah but i once i had the old rotors machined after i went through gravel, and it stopped squeeking for like a week. Soo i then went to Midas to get new rotors and pads. I took the truck into midas a couple weeks ago, they scuffed the pads, and they stopped squeeking for only a week. Its not the basic little mouse type squeek, but its a loud squeek. Sometimes it will squeek when i apply the brakes at 30mph! Thats whats reallllllyyy annoying. I wouldnt mind it if it squeeked at like 5mph or less.

 

When does the lemon law come in hand? Such as if i bring my truck in enough, that they will have to give me my money back? Cuz i would rather have dodge work on it perhaps. I live in Washington by the way.

 

lemon law doesnt apply to wear parts... especially if they are not OEM parts...

this link should help...

If you arent happy with Midas, you're going to need to go to them and explain your case.

My opinion is that you got cheap pads, and the rotors are glazed over. turning your rotors and getting quality pads would clear this up I suspect. getting lithium brake grease for the slide pins would also be a good/cheap idea.
