Alright to offer some professional advice from someone who works on these for a living. The front brakes are 95% or more worn, it's a little unclear but at best there is about 1mm of brake pad left and new I believe the pads come at about 11mm.
Rev matching is better for the brake pads... and it sounds cool lol. Same reason I rev match downshift in my Honda Civic.
the pads on my Bolt lasted 130,000 miles
I’ve had my 2024 over a year and 30,000 km’s. I just had my brakes cleaned and the back up squeal is gone.
Put in some aftermarket front brake pads too.
I had aftermarket front brakes installed by a local mechanic for around $300. They ended up squeaking constantly and just didn’t feel right. I eventually had them redone with genuine Honda brakes at the dealership — it cost me $575, but the difference was night and day. No noise, smooth feel, and it came with a 12-month warranty.
Changed my front pads on 2021 Silverado and had same issue. Dash lit up with warnings and checking engine light. Disconnected battery for 30 plus minutes, pressed brake pedal 2/3rd way down and held for 45 seconds and released slowly, waited 15 seconds and repeated. Did this process for the entire 30 minutes. Reconnected negative terminal on battery and that cleared all warnings except check engine light. Drove for short distance and engine light went off. Just can’t reset my brake pad wear setting, so thinking new sensor may be bad so I ordered a OEM replacement.
First set lasted 70k, the second set 50k as I was cheap and did the pad slap.
My 2025 RS AWD has been having squealing brakes since 1,000 miles at low speed. It has 3,500 on it now and it's annoying.
My breaks were squeaking with less than 5000 miles. Bad and embarrassing squeaking.
