Brake pads OEM Hyundai or OEM Chevrolet

I’ve had my 2024 over a year and 30,000 km’s. I just had my brakes cleaned and the back up squeal is gone.

I mean I hit 90k miles before I needed pads on a chevy colorado so...

I have a 13 year old Chevy Volt with 173,000 miles still on its original brakes.

My Ioniq 6 was shaking and vibrating a lot while driving around today, so I turned on the disc brake cleaning function and slowed down from 65 to 45 half a dozen times to heat up the brakes. That melted the ice around the brakes and in the wheels, and the car went back to driving normally.

For me as an owner of a 2019 Hyundai Veloster with 60k and after 5 years of ownership , the only thing I had to do was change the oil , filter and brake pads.

My Equinox has 10,400km and will always make noise under braking at the beginning of the ride and then gradually stops. Braking feels good though.

Changed my front pads on 2021 Silverado and had same issue. Dash lit up with warnings and checking engine light. Disconnected battery for 30 plus minutes, pressed brake pedal 2/3rd way down and held for 45 seconds and released slowly, waited 15 seconds and repeated. Did this process for the entire 30 minutes. Reconnected negative terminal on battery and that cleared all warnings except check engine light. Drove for short distance and engine light went off. Just can’t reset my brake pad wear setting, so thinking new sensor may be bad so I ordered a OEM replacement.

My breaks were squeaking with less than 5000 miles. Bad and embarrassing squeaking.

I have about 1k miles on my 25 Equinox EV and the brakes have started doing this. It’s horrendous backing out of my driveway and at drive thru’s. Sounds like I’m driving an old beat up car that I haven’t maintained.

Back in September 2024, I bought two Chevy Equinox EV 2025s — one for me and one for my wife. Both vehicles have less than 10,000 miles on them. And guess what? Both are already having the exact same issue: the brakes make a horrible squealing noise every time you press the pedal, and when you go in reverse the sound is absolutely unbearable.

I’ve taken both SUVs to the dealer twice already. Each time I had to pay $35 for a brake inspection, and both times they told me “everything was fine.” Now, on the third visit, they suddenly tell me the brake pads need to be replaced, and it’s going to cost $498 PER VEHICLE. That’s nearly $1,000 out of my pocket for what I strongly believe is a manufacturing defect.

Here’s what frustrates me the most:

• Both vehicles are covered under the extended warranty, but the dealer says brakes are “not included.”

• They claim the warranty only covers the battery and motors.

• How is it possible that two brand-new vehicles, same model, same mileage, bought at the same time, have the same brake problem, and it’s NOT considered a factory defect?

This makes zero sense. Honestly, I feel scammed. I trusted Chevy, bought two brand-new EVs, and in less than a year they’re already trying to squeeze almost a grand out of me for something that should not be happening.
