I have a 2002 Nissan Xterra that had brake squeals since about 9000 miles. I have repeatedly taken it to the dealer to have the problem fixed/inspected. I was told that the squeal is a result of the type of brakes and that they were just cold. The problem is that the brakes squeal all the time. I was then told on another visit that it was the drive belt and not the brakes. After this service the squeal was still there. I took it back yet again and they did another brake inspection and said that when I do my brakes they will have to spin the rotors and this should fix this. The problem I have is that I shouldn't have to pay for this fix since it's been on going for almost a year.
