Do you know what pads are on the car? Are they OEM? Some aftermarket pads are going to squeal due to the pad materials used. It could be a questionable

It could be a questionable install of your pads. You should have someone that knows what they are doing check the pads to insure that the clips are on the back of the pads that help to prevent squealing. You should also have them put brake grease on the back of the pads. With both of these in place, you should not have any squeal. Final thought is that there are tabs on the pads that are 'wear indicators' to let you know when the pads need replaced. The indication is a squealing noise. If you don't know how to do any of the above, find someone that knows brakes. This is not a complicated check/repair.

1) Find a stretch of pavement where making panic stops will not interfere with traffic. 2) Get vehicle up to 40-60 mph (as fast as speed limit will allow). 3) Hit the brakes HARD and keep on them until your speed drops to 5-10 mph. Do NOT come to a complete stop. If you don't feel ABS kick in, you're not braking hard enough. 4) Keep moving for 5 minutes or so to allow the brakes to cool. Do NOT stop until brakes have cooled. If glazing is the problem, you should at least feel/hear a big improvement after the first run. Repeat procedure 2-3 times if necessary. If that doesn't fix your problem, then start looking at the items mentioned by others.
