Default Brakes Squeal Already?

i have a my04 with about 5,000 miles on it and the brakes are squealing already? do any of you have this prob?

how is it that my brakes already squeal??

this will be fixed under warrantee right? i hate the dealer now, everything i come in for it seems like they blame it on wear and tear.

i don't track my car just regular city driving and highway.

if it's a problem with the brakes the warrantee will cover it. If it's cause the pads are worn out and the rotors need to be resurfaced it's wear and tear. Do you down shift when braking? Check the rotors for grooves and also make sure you are cleaning your brakes/wash car cause the front brakes especially create a lot of dust. Try using brake cleaner. Hope that helps....
