Brake Problem...I think
 
I am having a little (very very minor) squeaking problem. It happens when I have been driving at highway speeds for a little bit, get off the highway onto the feeder road and then left off of the brakes. When I let off of the brakes, it make a squeaking noise till I hit the brakes again. When I am at a stop, then go again, it will rarely make the noise.

I was wondering if this is a problem that I NEED to fix. Again, it's not that bigga squeak and happens when I left off the brake after going highway speeds (Say above 60 mph). I am thinking maybe it is the brake holding onto the wheel a little or something. I do not notice and resistance when I let off of the brake.

What do you think?

How much brake pad do you have left?
My Accord was doing something similar and I found out that the passenger rear brake pad was about gone.

Good question. I have no idea. I guess I should take the wheels off this weekend and see.

If it is worn, should I just buy all new pads?

Probably. The rears usually last longer than the fronts, so if your rears need replaced, your fronts most likely do too.
Though if you bought it used (not sure if you did), someone could have replaced the fronts and not the rears.
How long have you had it and how many miles are on it?
If you do get new pads, I would recommend Rotex Golds (dramatic decrease in brake dust).

Yes, I bought it used, but with only 2,300 miles. At the moment it has 52k miles. I will take a look at it today. Thanks for your help.
