Weird noises

My car is making a loud screeching noise when I brake. It doesn't do this every time, but it is becoming more and more frequent. I just had my brakes replaced in November of 2006, do I need brakes again already? Help! :Oops:

Hi there,

If you had front & rear brake replaced as you mentioned, it may just be something like a stone stuck behing a backing plate, but best have the brakes checked by a mechanice to be safe. But if the pads are worn out already, there is a problem with a sticky calliper or a pressure retension issue that need to be look at, also have the hand brake cables checked, these can bind up and cause a problem as well.
