Squealing brakes don't mean that they're in danger of failing... There are a couple of causes, mainly the composition of the pads (metallic tends to squeal more, softer pads don't but then customers complain of "lots of brake dust on the wheels").
If you hadn't heard, the new 9-3 SS had the shortest stopping distance in several tests... WHY? Because once again, Saab actually cared about PERFORMANCE (at the risk of some "noise").
But now of course they'll listen to the complaints from people who don't understand the problem, and put in softer brake pads that are nice and quiet but shed lots of dust and don't perform as well...
UGH.
