Okay this might sound weird, but the brake pedal on my 2010 Yukon SLT squeaks when I press it. 100% it is inside and is NOT an issue with brake pads/rotors. Clearly not a big deal, but it drives me nuts. It's especially bad when I drive through my apartment complex with all the stupid speed bumps.

I have tried WD40 and white lithium grease to lube up any pivot point that I could find, but it STILL squeaks. It kinda seems like it gets worse during the winter. I thought I had it taken care of over the summer, but now that it's cold again the squeaky-squeak is back!

Any thoughts on what I could be missing?? Anyone else deal with the same thing?

I have the same issue on my 06. Do you have the adjustable pedal feature? I'm starting to suspect it's that on mine.

My pedals have always been all the way to the bottom. I recently adjusted them mid-way and squeaking stopped for a few days, but I think it's back...(?)


I'm thinking maybe I should replace my brake pedal with the non-adjustable version?. But I haven't decided yet.

Get a mechanics stethoscope and isolate the squeak. Then you can work on attacking it at the source.

Try a better lubricant !! wd40 won't hang on... lithium is hit or miss.
