screeching noise...

I have an 06 that was purchased back in May, I have around 10,000 miles on it. Occasionally I hear my front brakes screeching, its a very slight squeak.
Its loud enough to bother me but not loud enough to have me worreid about my safety.

Do I need new brakes already? Should I just take it in to have it looked at? Will the waranty cover it?

thanks for reading/listening to my gripe....[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]

3 really big hard stops 40mph down to 10 mph - and then report if it still happens.

10 k is early for brakes. I'd guess you brake gently.

If that doesn't work, theres something else you can do. When the brakes on my Land Rover Discovery were squeeking, it was a little louder. The dealer saud it was from built up brake dust. You could yank off the wheen and spray some water in there to clean it. Just a thought.
