Before following BuckeyeZ's excellent suggestions, try bedding the brakes. Already several threads on this - search is your friend.

If it's the base brakes you don't need to bed anything unless you are on the track. At least that's what I was told by a mechanic. Street driving you don't need to bed the brakes.

To the OP, check your brake fluid as well.

I'll politely disagree. ALWAYS bed your brakes.

The brakes more than likely don't need bedding after all this time but the bedding procedure will burn off any rotor glazing that can cause squealing. Glazing may not be the problem, but the bedding procedure is quick, easy, and free.

the process cleans the surface of the pad.

if those are oem pads, they shouldn't squeal at all. i have a feeling the op is braking too lightly causing crap build up on the surface.
