Squeaky Brakes

I have a 2001 CAMRY LE 4 dr which squeaks its brakes when i brake lightly (moving less than 5 mph). I am still under a 60 day bumper-to-bumper warranty and was wondering if I should do anything about this. My friend at Midas said the brakes (all 4) looked great, but he didn't take them apart or anything extensive like that.

thanks!

It may be the composition of the pads or, that the anti-squeal shims were left off the backs of the pads, or you may simply need some disc brake quiet applied to the back of the pads. In either case I would take the car back to where you bought it and explain the problem. Even if they say there is nothing wrong you have registered the complaint/problem with them while it is still under your 60 day warranty. That way you should be covered if the problem persists even after the warranty expires.
