Some light brake noise after sitting can be normal, but ongoing squealing, grinding or pulsing after winter should be inspected.
Common causes
- Rust buildup on rotors
- Worn brake pads
- Seized slider pins or hardware
- Rotor thickness variation or warping
- Caliper issues
Brakes are safety-critical. If the noise continues, the pedal feels different, or the vehicle shakes while braking, book an inspection.
