When do you squeak?

I sometimes squeak a bit when I move from Park into Reverse when I back down my drive. (Stock 2016 V6S)

Seems to be when I'm slowing down for lights or coming to a junction at slower speeds. It's just a bit embarrassing if there 2 lanes of traffic sitting at lights then I come along squeaking

Mine does that but only when brakes are hot after a spirited run when very lightly on brakes as you come to a stop from 5mph to 0.

Thing is should we have to put up with it especially with the money we spend on these cars? I might ring JLR and see what they say.

I usually file the leading edges off pads to fix it. Never fails to work

Are they carbon ceramic brakes? I had carbon brakes on a Porsche and if you only used light braking for a while they would squeal horribly. The fix was to brake hard a few times and then they were fine. For a while!

Hi wanner69, I had the same issue at around 8000 miles and had to take several videos as evidence that clearly something was wrong. It would squeak at 5mph and 50 or more. It was driving me nuts and had several heated discussions with Jaguar servicing team. What did they do, they first offered me to lubricate the pads which costed me over £300 and did nothing. I complained again and again and replaced the break pads. Problem solved.
