Be thankful you got to enjoy 6,000 miles of silence
I've found if I run'er to 60-70mph and brake HARD a couple times in a row the squeal shuts up for awhile. You could do a search on bedding the brakes.

My old Acrua TL did it occasional also, I used the same method to quiet them..
So far my Vette has not started squealing.

:No way!! I did the exact same thing with the same result. Trust me. All I did was change the front pads to Hawk ceramics and the squeal is gone. I was tired of sounding like a 72 pinto when I was coming to a light!!

THEN... I got Hawk ceramic brake pads in the front (only). The squeal was GONE!!
Try it. First, it is not an expensive fix, even if you have someone else do it. Second, how long do you want to put up with your car sounding like crap stopping at a light!!
