- 2016.5 CX-5 GT AWD w/ Tech Package
I've just crossed over 50,000 miles on my 2016.5 GT AWD and one of the brakes is starting to squeal when under braking, so I think it's time for new pads. Does anyone have recommendations for a brand / type of brake pad that aren't as noisy as the OEM ones? Since day one, the brakes on this car have squeaked, so I'm hoping for something quieter.
Also, while I have it in the shop I'm going to ask about this noise I get when reversing. It's the worst when going from moving forward into reverse quickly (like in a 3 point turn). The sounds is like old door hinges creaking open. I've heard other Mazda's do this in parking lots when reversing, does anyone have insights into what the cause of this is? I'll also occasionally get a rotational squeak noise at slow speeds when first starting off, but it goes away pretty quickly. Unfortunately, neither noise is consistent, and of course it would never do it at the dealer when the car was under warranty nor whenever I've had a mechanic in the car!
