Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Impala Limited owners report experiencing brake noise issues after changing pads and rotors, particularly in high humidity areas where light surface rust can form on the brake rotors overnight. This rust may cause noise during initial brake applications as it gets scrubbed off. Additionally, owners have noted that worn or contaminated brake pads can also lead to noisy braking, and if new pads are causing noise, it may indicate a faulty installation that requires adjustment. Common causes of brake noise in the Chevrolet Impala include bad brake pads, bad brake rotors, or a malfunctioning brake caliper. Furthermore, squeaky brakes are often a sign that the brake pads need attention, although other underlying issues may also contribute to the noise. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to ensure safe and quiet braking performance.
