6800 miles and my brakes squeal like a city bus. Cleaning the rims/ rotors didnt help- No track time seems abit early for new pads

 

That sounds unusual...
I'm sure the brake pads are fine with this kind of mileage.
That's why it's important to use anti-squealing paste when assembling brake pads. I assume they've used it at the factory...maybe not?
Maybe brake dust did get somewhere in the caliper and causing this...even if you've clean the rims,maybe you didn't get to the calipers?
Hopefully your dealer will do something about it...

 

High performance brakes squeal if they're not used firmly on a regular basis. The problem is caused by glazing. After a new set of pads is bedded properly, you need to make a couple of firm stops every day. 'Firm' in a car like the Carrera means at least half a g of braking force sustained all the way to a stop.

I use this car aggressively as a daily driver and is the 6th in a long line of carrera's I have owned. This has never happened before and the rotors/calipers were powerwashed with no effect

 

Check with your dealer. May be another of those wonderful early build supplier problems.

 

Mine was talkative yesterday after a few days of putting around town. Did some proper back road stops and the squeal is gone.

That said, hasn't there been some talk on this or the other forum about a brake pad replacement campaign?

 

My brakes squealed. I actually enjoyed the sound. But the squeal went away on its own after putting more kms on the car. It's normal, just keep driving. I am sure the sound will be gone with time.

 

My wife detected a squeal on her brand new S since she drove it home until now, roughly 200 miles. Anything she should do or the shop can do?

 

Threshold braking. It's fun and will fix it.

 

my car have the squeal too, guess time for some threshold braking and only 2200 miles

 

And watch out for old smokey the bear, son. Haha.

 

my squeal went away after 3000 miles (and two DE events).

 

I've been to 4 DE events and 11,000 miles (actually I should just about change the brake pads), but I am experiencing brake squeal, even at very slow speeds approaching a stop which is annoying. I feel the harder I press the pedal the gentler or less of a squeal I get.

 

I had a rock in my rear break which caused a bad squeal.
