My brakes make squeaking sound (mostly when released)
UPDATE:
I think it might be a wheel issue (and not a brake issue) after all. I posted an updated thread in the section "Wheels & Tires":
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=214905
The sound happens mostly when I release the brakes and the car starts rolling forward again; the sounds follows the rotation of the wheels (a slow rotation at that point), and it sounds a little bit like a door that needs to be oiled (a squeaky/squealing sound).
Any idea what the problem might be, and what I could do about it?

Hi all,
I just got my 2006 Scion xB on May 14 (12 days ago) from a dealership.
Two days ago, I noticed for the first time (and I think it was the first time it happened) that there was a squeaky sound coming from the passenger side (I wanna say front) when I was braking, and recently it's been doing it more after I release the brakes (as the car starts rolling forward, or as I press on the gas again, it sounds like the squealing sounds follows the rotation of the wheels for the first 1-2 seconds).
In fact, the very first time it happened, it was more than just a squealing sound--two stops in a row, as I was coming to a stop, there was some weird, louder sound and weird movements coming from what I would think is the front passenger's wheel area. It sounded and felt like a bottle of liquid was being shaken (I'm pretty sure I could hear liquid moving). I had actually also experienced that in a different xB less than a month ago (my colleague's xB, not mine).
What's the deal with that? I have been told when I bought the car from the dealer that there had been a safety inspection, and that they had changed the rear brake pads (I think). I'm fairly certain they also checked brake fluid, so I don't think that's the issue.
Can someone help me figure out what the problem is? And how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Patrick

Does it sound like a metal squeeking sound? like a high pitch squeal?
If so I had something similar on my car, it turns out that there was a piece of rusted metal stuck between the rotor and the metal plate on the back of it. so that may be something to check out.
