Canyon SLE 3.6L V6

Standard Dura-life brake calipers are not as great as GMC makes them to be. The only fix to your squealing brakes would be to get a better aftermarket brand. I found my new brake calipers on CarID.com for about $50 each

I feel your Pain, I was told almost word for word the same excuse....This is a New Truck that didn't squeak until the recall, My dealer was a Total Ass, I ordered the new pads from Rockauto and the Squeal is gone...15 minuets in my drive way and it is fixed....the factory pads have a no squeak Teflon barrier on the back side when the pads were replaced the barrier tore....They are being Cheap.....AS MUCH AS THESE TRUCKS COST YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT!!!!

Canyon All Terrain 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10 miles

Brakes squeal everyday, especially first thing in the morning. Everyone says that that is the way new brakes are initially. Dealer says its just dirt/rocks and ask if live on dirt road knowing the address of the customer is not a dirt road. Dealer also states that some noise is expected in wet weather, roads are not wet. Vehicle brakes squealed the first day and still squeals 6 months later.

Update from Nov 11, 2015: After the Recall of Replacing the Front Calipers, the squealing is still heard and getting worse. I had the dealer inspect but they keep asking you must live on a sandy road. MY ADDRESS IS ONLY 2 MILES AT MOST FROM THE DEALER AND WITHIN CITY LIMITS. Brakes have been squealing since the vehicle has been driven off the lot for a road test with only 4 miles. They say, oh they are new, just need to wear in some. 0ver 11,000 miles later they still squeal so are they still new? No. Oh you must live on a dirt road. Oh My goodness. Just inspect the brakes, take it for a road test, request to keep it overnight and provide a loaner. Where and Why do the brakes squeal?

Update from Jul 21, 2017: Brakes still squeel, so dealer finds rock in the front caliper, which was replaced by a recall and now has customer pay for new stuff.
