Lately when backing out of my driveway, my TB brakes squeak, but not all the time. It’s completely random and only happens on a cold start and only when reversing. Has anyone else experienced this?

It's been discussed on other threads that it is due to the type of brake pads used. Others have mentioned that by replacing them with ceramic pads it fixes the issue.

Appreciate the response, I'll check the other threads.

My 21 LT does this as well, any time I’m driving slow in drive or reverse. I tried to get them changed and the shop told me they were fine. Chevy says that’s just what the breaks sound like. There’s no way they should be that loud. It drives me crazy.

I hear ya, brand new car and squeaky sound when in reverse... is what it is I guess.

It’s the semi metallic front pads. Get the ceramic pads I reference in this thread and they will fix the noise.

Rear brakes squealing

First problem I've had with my Trailblazer. I noticed when I back up, my brakes squeal. Doesn't do it in drive, just when I'm backing up. Car only has about 3600 miles on it, no way they should be worn already. Anyone else having the same issue? Could this be related to the brake recall?

It is not just what it is. Easy fix.
