You may need new Brake pads. That squeeling is a warning that the pads are worn down to almost metal. Have your brakes checked.

 

Yes, the brake squealer is a wear indicator. But it should be happening in D, not just reverse.

Have you checked your brake pad wear lately? Do you only hear the noise when applying brakes while in reverse? Do you still get the noise if rolling backwards down an incline with the tranny in N?

 

Could be some of the cats or skunks that had previously been roaming the neighborhood - especially if the squeal is followed by a thump. Give it a few more days and they'll all be gone. If, after then, you still hear the squeal, check the brakes next

 

Gosh, I was gonna say try backing up in drive.......................

 

I'll have to get video camera do the same.

 

Could be rust build up from over night

Once you've applied the brakes, and come to a halt does it do it?

Mine does this too and so does our 2007 CRV. I think its just flash rust buildup on the rotors. If your brakes aren't worn down and your rotors are fine, I wouldn't worry about it too much

Dude thats totally a breakpad wear warning! Ive heard that a million times. if its not that something very thin is dragging on your brakes somewhere.

 

There's an odd hum that seems to go with that squeal. You can confirm brake pad wear by jacking up your truck and pulling the wheels off to get a good look at both sets of pads... inner and outer.

Better yet, remove the lower caliper flange bolt and pivot the assembly up, pull out the pads and measure them. The wear limit is 1mm.

If it's not the brakes, then keep looking! Put it up on 4 jackstands and crawl underneath. Maybe some debris is caught in the brake dust shield or something.

If you need to replace your pads, there should be no need to turn the rotors unless the rotor is damaged or if you have shimmy under braking.

Thanks guys looks like I will be getting some brake pads after all. Now it comes down to what brand.

I also go OEM on the pads. They brake well and have minimal dust. Plus, they are ceramic.

 

Yeah that's what my Mechanic told me to get and that I can get them installed very inexpensively like roughly $320.

Now I need to find out where I can get them from

 

I was going to say the same thing. There are threads here that discuss the pad replacement process. It is pretty simple. $320 sounds pretty high to me for a simple pad replacement.

 

Yeah will in this area where that is pretty good deal come to what I am sure the Honda Dealer ship would charge me.

 

I was wondering if this is a legit site or not

Looks pretty legit to me sir! Those are good prices too.

Use the Thermo Quiet pads. They are they best.

Couldn't hear the sound well, but mine made a sound like wetting your finger and rubbing it around the rim of a glass, a hollow kind of ringing sound. It was not the wear tabs, but it was the pins on rear pads. They were sticking and only when in reverse did they make sound due to the pressure on the pads. It stopped when going forward. Re lube the pins, use the Thermo Quiet pads, good to go!
