Can squeaky brakes be fixed?
If your brakes are new and still squeaking, the fix may be as simple as greasing the contact points. This requires removing the brake pads from the calipers (see How to Change Your Brake Pads and Rotors), then applying brake grease to all the contact points.

Why does my Nissan make a pulsating noise when I brake?
A pulsating brake pedal, which may be accompanied by a shuddering or jerky stop during normal braking, usually means a warped rotor or an out-of-round drum — although it can sometimes be caused by loose wheel bearings, a bent axle shaft or loose brake parts.

Why are my brake pads making a squeaking noise?
Moisture can cause rust on a Brake rotor which can rust and will make a grinding noise until the surface rust is removed. Hard braking can cause noisy brakes by creating heat which can glaze brake pads resulting in squeaking brakes. Even long life brake pads are harder and can result in noisy brakes as part of normal operation.

Is it normal to have a lot of brake noise?
A certain amount of brake noise is considered “normal” these days because of the harder semi-metallic brake pads that are used in most front-wheel drive cars and minivans. This type of noise does not affect braking performance and does not indicate a brake problem.
