“We have had a problem with squealing brakes since about not even a week of owning it. We called it in and took it in to koons Chevrolet of white marsh in which they took it for less then 2 mile test drive and didn't even remove the tires (we could tell because its a dually and not 1 finger print on the dirty hubcap).
