I did, you said "a couple of hard brakings and the problems is gone". It isn't in my case it's still there.

My original brakes never squeaked and when it came time to get new ones (front and back) I talked to my SA becuase I was concerned about the posts about squeaking brakes. I had them on an Audi A6 4.2 that I once had and they drove me crazy.
My SA told me not to worry - that as long as they replace the sensors there should be no squeaking. I don't know if that was the case or not, but I have no squeaking with the new front and rear brakes.

god this sounds like a horrible recurring nightmare.. i had this same problem.. i ad no problems whatsoever till about 16 or 17 k.. then it was this high pitched squeak only when touched lightly. hub said sounds like the sensor.. i took it to the dealer they said the pads needed to be changed.. i said okay fine.. whatever. so they did it.. and then i came home with a squeak so loud it would wake the dead! i was pissed, took it back they told me that "brakes occasionally squeak and its normal" fu%* that crap man.. the loud embarrassing squeak went away. but now i have this high chirpy squeak even when im not touching the brakes.. !!!
i can just be driving and i hear it as the wheel is turning and it gets faster as i speed up.. i dont know what it is and now i fear its not even a brake issue.. sometimes the dealer has helped me out and sometimes i think there stupd mofo's.. i hate having these problems.. sorry to jack the thread dude hope your problems get resolved and mine as well.. i have yet to bring it back

That's the same question I'm contemplating! My pads look ok, so do the rotors, but I'm dissatisfied with the performance of the brake pads AND the squeaking is REALLY friggin' annoying - my car had an almost 60k sticker when new, I don't want my brakes to sound and perform like they belong on a regular yellow cab!
