This is a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, and the squealing is not necessarily constent. When first starting to move, the noise doesn't start but then it begins and will continue most of the time, but again not all the time.

There is a brake pad sensor attached to your disc pads. When the pad wears down to a certain point, this metal clip sensor hits the rotors causing the squealing sound. This is an indicator for you to replace/check your brakes. In the beginning you will only get a partial squealing noise or intermittant. Once the pads wear down more, the sound will become more of a constant squeal.
good luck.........

there are dozens of reasons that it would squeek.
A rotor resurfacing is going to be with a doubt the most common reason. I called on this recently, and the cheapest place i found was $6 bucks per rotor to resurface.... but i found as high as $35 a peice... which is ridiculous for what they have to do.... well $35 a peice for someone who just brings their car in and has a mechanic disassemble it would be actually cheap.... if you take them off yourself, thats too high.
But, it could be cheap brake pads (more then likely semi metallic), it could be bad calipers that need rebuilt, it could be that it needs new pads.

The brake pads have a wear indicator that rubs on the brake rotor when the brake pads are worn out.
It's normal, and is indicating that you need new brakes.
