Yes it happens. But it does happen on all vehicles. Do you do alot of stop and go? What pads or shoes are you using? Stock or aftermarket?
This is what you can do to get rid of it. Check your rotors and/or drums, make sure you do not have any hard spots or groves from wear. If you do, resurface the rotors and/or drums. If the hard spots are deep replace the rotors and/or drums. Also replace your pads and/or shoes. I recommend Bendix pads and shoes. Why? Better made than many others and lifetime warranty. Never buy pads or shoes again. I know many autoparts sell others and claim to be the best but I have worked in the automotive industry for over 18 years as a brake, suspension and alignment specialist and found the Bendix to be way better made than others. They make an anti squeak pad. Remember to make sure all you moving parts are lubricated so as to not cause any uneven pad wear and or squeak from those moving parts. If any of the rubber gromets are torn or deteriorated replace them. That way you wont have to deal with uneven wear or squeaking. Us the anti squeak shims for your pads. Also replace the hardwear kit in the rear. Remember the springs that hold your shoes in the rear loose thier spring retention because of the daily use and heat produced during breaking. I hope that this helps. I know it is alot of info. Shoot me an email and I will answer any questions you may have. Later[^]
