I do mostly city driving.....stop light to light....and I'm sure feathering the brakes is what is causing this. However, am I supposed to be driving 60 and then stop on a dime at every light? Maybe I wasn't taught how to drive (or rather, brake) properly.
Yeah, I know the solution is aftermarket pads. That's not really a solution....it's a workaround I should not have to do on a 2-month old $115k car (that is, basically pay $1k to have my brand new OEM brake pads changed out).
I am going go take it to the dealer and insist they at least cover the labor for aftermarket pads if they can't solve this issue. It's just unacceptable.

So you knew about the issue, the cause, and the workaround-- yet still proceeded with the steel brakes expecting you were any different than the 999 threads already about the squealing steel brakes?
edit: just realized you were the guy that sold me the mirror caps, so don't take my comment too personally. We're like family in this forum! And kuddos for that A+ packing job!
