Default Lambo considered a lemon for squealing brakes

I saw this video on CNN and it just reminded me how I had to go to the dealership numerous times for them to inspect my brakes and figure out the squeal. Good to know that if it doesn't get resolved, we can consider it a lemon.

funny I have still never had an issue with squealing brakes. I wonder if it has something to do with humidity because thats one thing we dont have in AZ. who knows??

It isn't that humid in the OC =] I think it had to do with dust build up or some film build up on the pads. If you brake real hard several times, it will not squeal for a short period of time but eventually it comes back. Recently they put on the dustless pads. I don't like the performance but I don't hear any squealing yet. I put about 5k on the other brake pads before I heard squealing so I guess I just have to wait.
