Problem overview

Some GMC Envoy owners report experiencing noise from the front brakes when stopping or slowing down, which may be attributed to several potential causes. Many owners note that worn brake pads can lead to squealing or grinding noises as they deteriorate. Additionally, issues with brake calipers, such as them becoming stuck and failing to release the brake pads, can also result in unwanted noise during braking. If the noise is a grinding sound, it may indicate not only worn brake pads but also problems like brake disc and caliper scratching. To address these concerns, some owners recommend inspecting the brake pads for wear, checking the functionality of the brake calipers, and cleaning the brake components to eliminate any debris contributing to the noise. If the issue persists, it is advisable for owners to consult a certified mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs to ensure safety and proper vehicle operation.
