Default Squeaking dammit!
At speeds below 25 mph I get a squeaking noise when driving (it sounds like brake squeal). It sounds like the left front. Before I start looking for the problem I would like to see if its a common issue and if someone could point me in the right direction. I went to a car show today and had to park in the back to avoid driving by everyone because it sounds that bad -Thanks

The pad wear indicators will cause the brake pads to squeak at low speeds. Check your pads for excessive wear, it may be time to replace them.

Sometimes cheap pads will do that, I learned the hard way. Good Luck finding the problem

Does the sound go away when you step on the brake? Sure sounds like the wear indicators
