Squeaking when braking & slowly driving.....

Hey, here lately my brakes have been squeaking loud everytime I brake. Also, when I am driving slow there is the same squeaking noise. Please help me here. Does anyone know the problem?

When is the last time you replace your brakes? Sounds like you need new brake pads. The reason why you still hear it while driving is because of the low brake indicators on the calipers.

you might need to have your rotors machined. I did that to my front rotors and the sound was gone...now I need to do the back. it should be about $50 each axle.

also, your brakes might not be releasing all the way after you depress the pedal. that is what I think is happening to me too, when I drive I hear a squeal, so I tap the brakes and it goes away...I dont really know how to fix that so I will need to talk to my mechanic...
