No, no yet. Just drive it for a while since you have plenty of time to bring it in to the dealer under the warranty.

After I had new brake pads put on my car, the brakes squealed for a short while, then stopped. I think you should give the brakes a few weeks and if they still squeak, let the dealer know. You would probably feel better even now if you call the dealer and tell him you are concerned. They do know about new cars and what to do. Is it both brakes squealing or just the right or just the left?
Before I had new brake pads put on, the warning device on the rotor, I think, that squeals when the pads are low started squealing. Brand new pads also squeal until they are broken in, sometimes.

picture yourself grabbing both sides of the tire with the palms of you hands.this is what your pad do to your rotor.when the pad gets worn there is a metal tab that touches the rotor at the same time the brake is applied thus causing a screeching squeal.this means you need new brake pads.if you ignore it you greatly reduce stopping ability(which youll notice a big difference when you change the pads),and begin to grove(large uneven channels) your rotors.in other words get some new brake pads.i recomend a set of lifetime pads from your local autoparts store.they will replace them for free no matter how many times you wear them out.

if you bought it brand new you may not need to get new brakes the brake pads may just be adjusting, I have an 07' scion and my cars brakes made a weird rubbing noise for a little while my mechanic said it's like a wear in period if you are really concerned about it you should call the place that you bought it form and they should look at it for you no charge!

there are lil devices on the brake pads that once the brake wears down they are designed to squeak so possible that u might be needing a brake job if you havent put the miles on it to constitute a brake job stroll on into the pep boys or some such place and have em look they usually do it for free

new cars have new brake pads on their rotors.They come with a small lubricant that release on it's own and ends the squeak that you hear, but go back to the dealer for your own peace of mind!

brake pads have little metal tabs on them to warn you when when your pads are getting thin by touching the rotor, creating the squeal, you need to have your pads replaced and your rotors resurfaced.

New cars do that. Give it a couple of weeks and it will go away.
My '05 Aveo did the same thing.

Might just need brake pads but if you don't replace them you will end up needing new rotors rtoo.
