Squeaky brakes ??

When I come to a stop, at 3-5 mph it squeaks, sounds like sh?!.

Sounds like the pads could be glazed. Usually block sanding them will stop the noise, if that's the problem. Maybe someone else with more brake expertise than I have (which would't take much) could chime in here and give you some real help.

Re: Squeaky brakes ?? (redriverjohn)
You could also try to rebed the pads before you remove them. Try 6 stops from 60-30 and 4-6 more from 60 to 0. Do not lock the brakes up and cause the ABS to come on. Just good hard pressure. Drive around after and let the brakes cool down and park the car for the night.
If they still squeal then remove and sand them to get rid of the glazing:
