Has anyone who had squeaky brakes found that the problem has either gone away completely, or lessened somewhat. Ours have only gotten worse and worse - definitely going back to the dealer for another service... I thought it might be outdoor temperature related (for a while it seemed that when it was colder - eg. sub-zero Celcius - the brake-squeaking was horrendous, but then, when the the temperature warmed to +5 C, I noticed they were still squeaking, but randomly - one corner, huge squeaking, the next corner, with the same brake pedal pressure, no squeaking at all... What gives? What can cause this problem to be 'persistently-inconsistent'?? Could it be moisture-related (i.e., when the pads get wet, or even damp, they squeak, but when dry, they are squeak-free)?? Anyone have any thoughts on these random musings? Whatever the problem, I hate driving the X1 right now - I can't stand squeaking brakes (especially on a $50k vehicle)! I'll take my GT whenever I go out...
